Debit cards that work at ATMs in high risk countries

Can someone help me?

I need to find a bank that will allow me to easily withdraw funds using a debit card while traveling abroad. I have had Chase and Ally. Both banks have ignored my travel notifications and canceled cards on me due to suspicious activity simply because I traveled to a country where I added a travel notification and try to like - use a debit card to withdraw funds. I am so frustrated I want to pull my hair out. Chase is now refusing to add a travel notification to my account for any country which it considers high risk (which seems to be every country not found in North America and Europe). To date and many years of travel I have had zero incidents of actual fraud but I have had many painful phone calls, pleas, frozen accounts, and canceled debit cards.

Please, please, please tell me how to end this madness.
