-Bank of Internet refunds strange amounts as ATM fee reimbursements for non-dollar withdrawals even when there seems to be no ATM fee. In any case, their refunds are limited, but result in the best exchange rates I've ever seen anywhere (considering the amount of foreign currency received and the amount of dollars subtracted from the account).
