Newbie3 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Would anyone know if the exchange rate is as good as the BOA debit cards at Santander ATMs? (excluding BOA's 3% foreign transaction fee)? If so, then this would be an alternative to using BOA to get dollars converted to pesos at a good rate w/o fees. From the Guad Reporter, posted today: US bank scraps fees Santander Bank, N.A., formerly known as Sovereign Bank, announced last week that its U.S. customers can withdraw money at Santander ATMs in Mexico free of charge. Now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Spanish Santander Group, the bank is based in Boston, Massachusetts and operates 723 retail banking offices throughout the Northeastern United States. Elimination of these fees follows the bank’s change of name from Sovereign to Santander in October of last year. http://theguadalajarareporter.com/news/news/national/43566-national-news-briefs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKL Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Where is the Santander ATM machine located in Ajijic? Is it the "push & pull card" type, or does it "eat" your card until your transaction is completed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kindred Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Wish it were true -- withdrew 3000 pesos on Thursday at Joco Santander and it said no charge on the ATM screen, but I was charged over a $6.00 US fee...what now folks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 I bank at Santander. The machine can eat your card. The machines are frequently down....I still like the Joco branch and the tellers....but I draw my pesos from OXXO using my Capital one 360 card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
