I withdraw at the Citi branch office ATMs at St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia, Shanghai, HongKong, London, Paris, Ireland... they all have the 1% ATM charges. I will never use it at Non-Citi owned ATM's.

If you want to avoid the 1 %, use the Bank of America ATM at the BA branch or its partner bank ATM's. There is no charge and the exchange rate is even better (at least for the above locations) than Citi.
