I have heard the same thing. Oh, yes, my comment is more general in nature for withdrawing money in overseas ATMs. The alphabet in other countries is not like ours. Because I can remember in which sequence I punch the pad (the number affixed to my alpha passcode). UNTIL I GOT BRAZIL! The ATMs there have the keypad go ACROSS in a line -- they don't do the normal US keypads! And the instructions were in Portguese -- I couldn't see an English option.

What I do now is order my foreign currnency on wellsfargo.com. I get the money the next day and there's an $8 service charge. I order all the currency upfront rather being gouched by the overseas ATM charge, WF's ATM charge and then, I think, 3% for privilege being able to withdraw money from an overseas ATM. I don't paying a fee -- people need to make money -- but I resent being gouched.
