US Dollars deducted (charged):
I have used Bank of China, China Agriculture Bank, and China Construction Bank over the past 18 months. In each case the exchange rate was within an extremely small percentage of the XE currency rate for the day. The only difference was the foreign ATM charges levied by Bank of America (which CCB does not charge).
