That's because, I'm pretty sure, you did not mean "1% of the amount withdrawn". Well, that'd be a rip-off if it is.
Are you serious? A 1% fee to take out currency in a foreign country is high for you? Let me give you two examples....

Bank of America Charges $3.00 plus 3% per transaction

Wachovia Charges $2.50 plus 3% per transaction

Plus TD Bank give you a higher exchange rate for your dollar than you would receive at a exchange house, airport or foreign bank.

$100 = $1 fee...cmon get real.
