Cambio at the airport

We've been using a Schwab account solely for travel purposes for years, and I can confirm they refund any ATM fee anywhere in the world. It is pretty unbelievable, but true.


Hmmm. Snooping about the InfernalNet, Schwab is getting fairly favorable reviews. The maximum that can be withdrawn per day is stated at US$1,000. Have you ever tried to withdraw that amount or anywhere near that amount in pesos in Mexico? Very tempting!

My Schwab limit is $2500 USD/day if I remember correctly. (I asked for an increase several years ago).
The last time I used an ATM which was a couple of years ago (I now transfer funds to my Intercam bank account via Wise.com) I was able to withdraw 19,000 pesos in one chunk at Banorte. I think the fee was about 45 pesos which Schwab refunded.
