I've never been charged a fee--in BsAs, Europe, Taiwan. In my limited
experience the US is the only place where banks charges fees if you
withdraw from another bank's ATM (which also charges a fee). If your
bank charges Foreign Currency Transaction fees/Currency Exchange fees,
find a different bank, at least for overseas travel.
