losgatos Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Are there any local banks with agreements with Wells Fargo to honor Wells Fargo debit cards in their ATM's at minimal or no charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I hate to tell you this, but Wells Fargo is one of the worst banks in the USA for charging both a foreign transaction fee--usually 3% of your ATM withdrawal--plus a fee to actually withdraw money from a non-Wells Fargo ATM--usually an additional $5.00 USD. In addition, the ATM you are using may also charge you to use the Wells Fargo debit card. I stopped using the Wells Fargo debit card years ago for just these reasons. YMMV but I suspect not.

jrm30655 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I haven't found one. I have an ALLY and a WF account. I went by CI Banco one morning and hit both cards for 10,000 MXN. WF gave me .5 MXN less and charged me $5.35 ATM fee. ALLY gave me .5MXN more on the rate and refunded my 17MX CI ATM fee. The difference between the two banks was about $20 I set up an ALLY account from down here by using a Vonage bill that bills to my Laredo billing address. I keep 2 accounts for safety but I only withdraw from ATMs from ALLY. ALLY transfers money for free and has free bill pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcscats Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I gave up on them as they do charge 5 bucks and 3% for debit card use here in Mexico. I write a check on BOA or First Tech credit union and deposit after a wait into my local bancomer account. I use a debit card from bancomer to get it out in Peso at any bancomer ATM. I leave my US bank cards for use in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanparys Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Suggest you think about changing banks... WF does not have a good reputation. If you can qualify, USAA or Capital One is the way to go... No fees and excellent exchange rates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 We stopped using WF cards in Mexico years ago because of the cost. Have been using Capital One for quite a while with so far great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WF has some kind of "wire transfer" service they tout as less expensive to get money here, so you might call your banker if you are in a bind and see what they will do for you. Suerte. WF has what they call Express Send and one can transfer funds online in real time from your WF account directly to (in our case) our Bancomer account. We then withdraw pesos from our Bancomer account using that debit/ATM card. Depending on how much $$ you have on deposit with WF, the cost can be nothing to $4 per transaction. However, it does require setting up an Express Send agreement and that must be done at a WF branch in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbleitch Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 31 July was 18.53 20 June was 18.3537 16 June was 19.20 You can see the rate you'll get before you complete the transaction, so if you're not happy with it, you can cancel it.

Aquaponicsman Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wells Fargo is, however, one of the banks that is likely to be one of the last banks standing if banks start crashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
