¹ Only applies to negotiable foreign currencies, subject to availability. The amount allowed for withdrawals of Euros with Regular ATH® to clients of other financial institutions is determined by the Institution where they have their relationship. ATMs offer rates updated daily as per the foreign currency international market. Each transaction is subject to a foreign transaction fee ranging from 4.75% up to 8% depending of the foreign currency and a charge for the sale/withdrawal of foreign currency of 1% of the amount after conversion to US dollars; $10.00 minimum.  The foreign transaction fee will be calculated based on the current foreign currency exchange rate at the time of the sale.  The 8% calculation in the conversion of foreign currency is based on the rate offered by the Agent Bank for exotic currencies whose volume of exchange in the currency market is still low.
