This information is definitely wrong. BBVA and Scotiabanks are the worse with their fees. But if you're a BoA customer it may be ok. Both of these banks have high fees. BBVA is the worse bank in Mexico for fees.

Banorte and Santander are the best and the only ones I use with low fees. I use a Wise card too. The fees in the airport could be a little higher haven't ever used them. But not enough to make a difference as you may need pesos to tip the taxi or bellhop at your hotel if you have one. Just stay away from BBVA.

For instance Banorte (the only bank ATM I use) charges approximately 45 pesos per transaction no matter how much money you withdraw. BBVA the last time I checked was over 100 Pesos.
