Now to suggest deletion, suspension or whatever; this isn't the christian childrens community website, we are super duper tough motorcyclists and sometimes we speak our minds, I'm sure Camomillo can take it

There still are many countries that charges nothing or very little for the use of a foreign cards in their ATMs, for example Australia and New Zealands banks ATMs charges a 3 dollar fee for each withdrawel and you can at least withdraw 500 dollars at a time - probably more (I didnt try) and banks in Indonesia and Malaysia didnt charge any fees at all if I remember right. I wonder how these banks can make a living compared to their AS counterparts?
A certain fee is understandable but nothing like 97 pesos for a 1200 pesos withdrawel! And you should check your % calculation - it sure wasnt your best subject at school.
Anyhow - Cammomillo started a a serious thread with a simple question and a certain person thinks that a good point to try to write nonsense several times.
Is that the way we want this forum to be?
