suntrust ones don't as I have just used my nationwide card there and not only got a good rate but no charges either.

Bear in mind Jules that your bank will still charge you for overseas withdrawals unless you are with a nice bank (such as Nationwide) that still don't charge their customers for this service. We signed up for the Nationwide Debit Card prior to our 9 month trip back in 2006 and we saved a bundle on ATM fees.

Try and avoid any ATM's in the hotels, these always charge and also Bank of America charge as well (I think it is $2 per transaction, but that might have changed).

To this day I have never found an ATM in Orlando that doesn't charge but there are obviously some out there. Try googling Suntrust and see if they have ATM locators on their website.

Many USA airports ATM's charge. In saying that, I don't think I have ever withdrawn money at Orlando International.

Thank so much-I presume all the atm's warn you if there is a fee- also someone said bank of america and wachovia(may be spelt wrong) don't charge- looks like that's taken care of then. I hope they don't freeze my card- as I will then be up the proverbial creek!

To save on atm charges, you can get cashback when paying on your card in lots of places, such a supermarkets (publix) and you can pay for literally everything on card. Although the UK banks do charge you for using your debit card (accept for Nationwide wide of course), credit cards don't charge you for each transaction (or at least American Express doesn't that I've noticed!).

7eleven don't charge, easy to use chip and pin with a Nationwide card, and lots of 7 elevens in Orlando.

Last week I was charged $3 USD fee plus any surcharges imposed by my credit card company. A sign was clearly posted on the machine and also came up onthe screen during the transaction. This was at a First Nations bank ATM.
