Foreign ATM card fees in Israel?Country forums / Middle East / Israel | ||
Does anyone know what the fee is to use one's foreign Plus system ATM card in an ATM in Israel? Are any of the banks free of charge for this? I'm talking about the local ATM owner's fee, not the fee from my bank in my country. Thanks. | ||
No ATM would be completely free. Even Israeli card holders have to pay a fee (NIS 0.67) on withdrawals from ATMs in Israel. | 1 | |
When I use my Israeli card, I like shuffaluff pay a fee. However, when I use my American card--I have never been charged a fee by an Israeli bank. Also, the rate of exchange is determined by my AMERICAN bank. I guess they figure in whatever they are passing to the Israeli bank for allowing me to use their ATM. I also know that on any given day--the rate I get is standard from bank to bank. ( but the rate YOU get may be different than what I get--depending upon our home bank. | 2 | |
Exactly my experience as well with an American card. | 3 | |
Thanks for the replies. But what if it's not an American card? Just a PLUS system card from a foreign non-American bank? | 4 | |
While I obviously only have experience with American cards--I do not see the difference. Why not ask the question on Trip Advisor. THey seem to have a bunch of Australians and Canadians posting. | 5 | |
