So I know they use the dollar, but will any of the major credit card companies (AMEX, Citi, Chase, BoA) try to charge you a "foreign transaction fee" for using your American credit card in Panama?

I know Panama is more of a "cash economy" than the US, but I'd like to reduce the amount of cash I need to travel with by relying on credit cards where possible (and where the merchant won't tack on his or her own 5% fee!).

Thanks.
