Citizens Bank fees and ATM charges

I contacted BofA. Unfortunately, Scotiabank is not in partnership with BofA in Mexico. Maybe it was at one time, but not anymore.

Thanks for the info and welcome to the forum! I plan to open a B of A account prior to my move to Mexico in 2010. There is a branch office of the B of A about 1km from my apartment building. At this time, my accounts are with Citizens Bank which is also located close to my apartment; but Citizens Bank does not have the available ATM's in foreign countries like Mexico, and their ATM user fees are quite high averaging US$3 to US$5 for each transaction. B of A ATM fees are half as much lower than the Citizens Bank ATM fees!

What about Citibank?

I don't have any Citibank branch offices in my area; I have 5 BofA branch offices within a 10km area of my location. The nearest BofA branch location is less than 1km away on the same street as my apartment building. Can't beat the location!

Thank you. That is something to consider. Does anybody bank with HSBC?
