I preorder foreign currency online from International Currency Exchange. I find their rates competitive and there are no extra fees. For my recent trip to Europe I needed Euros, Czech Koruna and Hungarian Forints. I placed my order a week ahead. They called me a couple of hours after I ordered online to say that it would take one extra day to have Hungarian Forints delivered to my local exchange and would that be OK? No problem.

Up until this year, we could get cash from any ATM in México. Then this year with our chipped debit cards, we were rejected by my usual ATMS so I hunted out ones that accepted them. One read the stripe while another read the chip.I was recently in Europe with a friend. She was unable to get cash from a DeutscheBank ATM at FRA using her debit card. I had no problem. Later on, my friend was able to get cash from an ATM in Vienna. We have accounts with different Canadian banks. Both cards have chips. Go figure.
ISTR that the issue is with Visa and MC branded debit cards which charge a % of the purchase rather than local debit cards that use an independent acquirer for a fixed fee to authorize. The branded cards are universal whereas the independent acquirer will only authorize selected debit cards.Is this the case?

If so I don't see any detail about CHIP and PIN charges being more expensive than CHIP and Signature. It seems to be about swipe fees charged in the past 9 years.
Yea me too. I had registered as being in Mexico and they authorized the purchase of car in New Brunswick. No problem removing it but the action had to be initiated by me! I check online regularly. Caveat emptor.Of course that didn't help last year when I am registered as being in England in June, and they don't flag $18k worth of fraudulent use of a clone of my card in NYC in a single day.
We tend to take a lot of cash both in US$ and Euros.
Buying Euros in the US is not cheap. But it can work out. Order them when the $ is stronger and it might make up for the fee.
I've never bought Euros or any foreign currency in over 20 years of going abroad.
ATMs have always worked.
First couple of times, I may have taken Traveler's checks but the exchange bureaus rip you off.
I have never has ATM problems overseas, just credit card problems at unmanned devices. It's best to use the ATM card at a bank when it is open, in the event the card is eaten

Don't your banks charge FX on ATM withdrawals? Ours all do. By the time we factor in the ATM charge, the Plus network fee and the 2.5% FX vig, we want to minimize our use of foreign ATMs.
I just don't like the link to my high balance brokerage account.Fidelity offers also offers a ATM card with the same structure as Etrade--no ATM charges, and 1% currency exchange. Have used with no problem all over Europe, including Russia as well as Asia, most recently in Singapore.
