Many Federal Credit Unions have low or no ATM fees for International ATM transactions.

I hold ATM cards at a couple well-known banks. However, the card I use almost exclusively for ATM transactions around the world is my Los Angeles Police Federal Credit Union card... No ATM fees and straight % of that day's Interbank rate conversion of local currency to USD... You can withdraw any amount of local currency w/no fee whatsoever. LAPFCU membership is restricted to LAPD personnel and families & my wife is the primary account holder, so membership is limited. However, there are a number of FCUs in every state that offer similiar benefits with easy membership requirements.
