Get your CapitalOne VISA & BankofAmerica Debit Card!
"The best cards, issued by Capital One, calculate your foreign charges at wholesale exchange rates, with no surcharge, so you literally lose nothing. Almost as good are MasterCard and Visa cards issued by HBSC, USAA, and Washington Mutual, among others, that add only a one-percent conversion fee imposed by the international MasterCard and Visa networks."
"The best foreign-currency deal I know is the "Global ATM Alliance." If you have a checking account with Bank of America, you can withdraw local currency, with no added fees, from ATMs operated by Barclay's Bank in the U.K., BNP Paribas in France, Deutsche Bank in Germany ... You don't even have to pay the usual one-percent exchange fee. Since the banks in the Alliance are all major banks in their home markets, you'll have little trouble locating a no-fee ATM in those ... countries."
