Note: beware Banco Popular as of April 26th increased and changed thier fees structures.

Today I used my American Debit Card to withdraw PESO as I have done for years.

I always select "without conversion" so my US Bank does the conversion which is a better rate.

Without looking the ATM Machine now only gives you "Cash Advance" not "Withdraw"聽 option for foreign Debit Card or CC.

I was normally charged 395 PESO fee now they are charging 4.5 % cash advance fee and not the normal fee for a Dominican Card.

So I was shocked when I withdrew 20k PESO and charged $14.98 dollars ATM withdraw fee.

Fortunately, my US bank refunds all ATM withdraw fees worldwide within 2 days.

Thought I share and not sure about other DR banks ATM fee Withdraw rate. This was only Banco Popular today.

I called my Bank Officer and he said yes they made changes and increased various bank fees.

discloser. This was my experience and what I read would advise asking your bank for fees and charges summary

Yes, I know that thank you, I have banked with them 18 years and have a private banker with Banco Popular. Still unclear with your conversation /feedback objective?

I was referring to the other member word scam. Anyway,聽 not important anymore, I'm good, enjoy your day

The original question was what US bank doesn't charge ATM fees, wire fees, i answered that above
