Nope...the balance will show in the local currency. My multi-million VND balance was a lot of fun. I think I kept that receipt somewhere.

It is good to know that some banks (e.g. Chase) charge a per-transaction fee in addition to the f/x fee so it makes sense to make fewer, larger transactions rather than pulling $50/day every day.
