Thanks for the info. As Shari, so kindly pointed out to me early this month, BanComer, HSBC, or ScotiaBank, offer 2% better exchange rates than BanaMex.

Did your BanaMex ATM have the "swipe" type card reader or did it suck it in and spit it out for the transaction?

I didn't know about the 2%, but since I have my retirement check deposited at Citibank I use their affiliate to withdraw cash and incur no charges. I think. Who really knows? I'm sure the bank gets its slice one way or another.

And yes, I only like to use the swipe card readers. I just hate the ones that take your card in and then think about giving it back to you.
