I have an international bank account and sometimes I need to withdraw money from that bank account, since they have no ATM’s or banks in the US, I was trying to figure out which bank charges the less fees at their ATM machine for accounts that are not with their bank, because I have seen a difference on my bank statements but I never kept track…….
My card works on all the ATMs, its just that Im trying to find the cheapest ATM machine. I

For some reason ATM here only allows me to take out 250 euros each time. The exchange rate has been around 1.47 or so with a 3 dollar surcharge in addition. With the exchange rate sucking, I dont know what’s the best way because I need to pay rent by cash. Help!

I am going to China and I wanted to know if either company has more presence over another. Also, is it safe to use the ATM’s over there that aren’t at banks? In your opinion, would it be easier to pay with only cash, or a mix of cash and credit/debit?… do they take debit cards in China at stores? Also, where can I exchange USD for Chinese money?

What is the best bank to withdraw funds from while traveling in Morocco?
Is there a web site with the current exchange rates? Every time I go I get hit with huge fees just to withdraw money from an ATM. I will be in Casablanca, Marrekech and Essouria. Any info would be helpful.

My husband put $70 cash in the bank yesterday. Today, we spent $35 on our debit card. Around 5pm, we went to get some cash out because we were buying some items at the Dollar Tree and they don’t accept Mastercard (the brand on our debit card). When we got to the ATM, the bank showed that we had $46 in the bank but $0 was available.

My question is: Is that legal? For the bank to hold our money like that. We have only spent $35 of the $70 we put in so OBVIOUSLY we should have money in there. This bank has a habit of holding our money for no reason. Most of the time, money that we deposit is not available for 2 business days, even when we deposit the money as soon as the bank opens. I am really frustrated that this keeps happening, but we don’t want to have to pay to close our bank account. Is there anything we can do about this problem?
I read all the paperwork when we opened the account and I don’t remember anything about them being able to hold our money without our permission. I know that they can hold checks until they clear, but this was cash that we deposited.
