E*Trade does not allow you to use ATMs in "Southeast Asia". They publish no list of what qualifies as "Southeast Asia" but the manager on the phone said to look for a Visa+ logo and hope, but no guarantee E*Trade will let you make the withdrawal.

Just wanted to add this to the FT community.

Does Schwab have the same restriction?


Finally, can someone recommend a bank to get currency before I leave from the USA? Somewhere with good rates (euro and Thai baht).

Thanks!
