Things to keep in mind:
ATM fees.
Any time you use an ATM overseas, you might get hit with a usage fee. These are charged by the ATM owner and are out of our hands, but you’ll usually get a warning that you’re going to be charged.
Checking balances.
ME doesn’t charge a fee to check your balance at any ATM – but keep in mind there may be a fee charged by the ATM operator.
