Be Cautious with ATMs:
While ATMs can be convenient for accessing cash abroad, be mindful of withdrawal fees and exchange rates. Although Dundee Bank doesn’t have specific partnerships with ATMs abroad, our Rewards Checking Account refunds foreign ATM fees (up to $10) if certain qualifications are met. See our Rewards Checking Account for more terms and conditions. Check the availability of foreign ATMs in your destination and plan your cash withdrawals accordingly to minimize additional charges.
