BBVA US Customers?

I opened a BBVA checking account in the US strictly for traveling to Mexico. I was able to avoid ATM fees using this debit card. Was great for my last few trips. I just got a notice in the mail that BBVA sold off the US business to PNC so I guess I will be back to paying ATM fees soon.

Anyone else use BBVA US?

Scotiabank (aka Bank of Nova Scotia) has branches all over Mexico, including Zihua. Although Scotiabank does not offer "retail banking" services in the USA.....

"That's why Scotiabank is proud to be a founding member of the Global ATM Alliance, along with Bank of America, BNP Paribas, Barclays, Deutsche Bank 24, and Westpac. Scotiabank customers can withdraw cash from participating member ATMs without paying any access fees."

So, it appears that a BofA account in the US might provide access to a Scotiabank ATM in Mexico, via debit card, without ATM fees. You'd still be stuck with currency conversion fees, though, which I don't think you can avoid in any case.
