Forex? The worst!

And Schwab stopped that Credit Card years ago.

Just bring two ATM cards (tell your bank you're leaving the country first).

B of A has reciprocals with 3 or 4 European banks (like Barclays and B.M.P. Parabas) so no ATM fees.

You are talking about Schwab's former credit card. I did not say credit card--I said debit card, and it is still in existence and does not charge a foreign transaction fee for using a foreign ATM and reimburses atm bank fees. Other debit cards (Ally Bank's, for instance) charge a foreign transaction fee. We use the Schwab debit card for getting cash. We use a cc with no foreign transaction fees (Capital One Visa, but there are others) for things like paying for meals, hotels, and purchases (not to get cash).

You didn't take my advice on re-doing your request for Euro's, however you did manage after all.

Skip here has the best advice for you. I travel to the UK frequently and his advice is Sound.

BOA charges a 3% foreign transaction fee on their debit card. This is a different charge from either the atm fee in one of their non-approved banks or the conversion rate of dollars to foreign currency, based on the exchange rate of the day.
