IMO, your best way to do this is with a no-fee ATM card that doesn't charge international forex fees, at which point any ATM is capable of handling your needs. I can do this with Fidelity, others use Charles Schwab.

Charles Schwab ATM/Debit card?

Fidelity Cash Management Debit Card/ATM Forex: Real-World Experience?

ATMs are preferred because they are typically charging interbank rate for forex (which is about as good as you will get).
