Scotiabank属于Global ATM Alliance,如果在Scotiabank有账户和ATM卡,那在国外其他Alliance member的ATM机上取钱,不用交surcharge或access费。那些国家主要是美国,欧洲一些国家和澳大利亚。
Scotiabank will waive the International ABMAccess Fee and Global ATMAlliance members will waive anyterminalconvenience or usage feesfor any withdrawal transactions performed at Global ATMAlliance machines with your ScotiaCard or Scotiabank VISA.

在这些member里面,我觉得最好的还是Bank of America。例如Scotiabank虽说不收手续费,但他可能收2.5%的foreign transaction fee。美国银行只收1%的foreign transaction fee(在有些国家,甚至不收)。他除了在这些member的ATM取钱不用额外交费外,还可以免手续费从中国建设银行取钱。如果住在离美国边境近的同学可以考虑一下(有2个ID就可以开户,如驾照和护照,并不需要美国的SSN)。
