Ordered my pesos from the bank. The peso went down a bit, getting 6,400 for about $300.
Yes.That include shipping and handling?
That really is predatory, might want to look into a Schwab no cost checking account (with ATM card) for travel. There are no costs for anything and they give an exchange rate at very close to full FOREX rate.My bank will charge me at least $3 in fees for using foreign ATMs. That is on top of any fees charged by the ATM owner.
Ok, that sucks too. The money handlers & changers are always out to increase their profits. Wells Fargo charges me 3% for using my credit cards I think, but about 2% total on ATM withdrawals.My bank will charge me at least $3 in fees for using foreign ATMs. That is on top of any fees charged by the ATM owner.
AND zero transaction fees and reimburses the ATM fee.My charles schwab ATM card would give me a bit over 6,600 pesos at today's exchange rate on 300 USD.
