  HSBC is in some areas of europe and in the US. Many big commercial banks have agreements with european banks so that you don’t have to pay a fee, but you’ll have to check with the actual banks for that. What you might end up finding is that it’s one bank in some countries.

  I also have Compass and plan on doing the same thing as Melanie. Why pay atm fees if you do not have to?

  I just signed up for a checking account with First Republic Bank. They don’t charge any ATM fees, or foreign currency conversion fees, AND they refund you the fees that the bank (of the ATM) might charge you. You will have to keep a minimum average monthly balance of $2500 to avoid paying a $15 monthly service charge. And I’m not sure where in the US you are located, but First Republic is only in about 6 or 7 different states.

  The most global bank I can think of is Citibank, I’ve seen them in every country I’ve been to so far, even countries such as Bangladesh.

  You do not use the BOA ATM, just go to one of the banks listed in that particular country and use their atm
