Bookworm Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Anybody else noticing that Capital One is no longer exchanging dollars for pesos at ....... (or even near) the current published "Mastercard/Forex" rate or the rate shown on the X-Rates site. A few months ago I would check those sites before & after an ATM visit and my CapOne exch. rate would be very, very close. Last week and today ........... not the case. For example, today I received $18.94 rather than $19.21 shown on both the above sites. Granted, it's not a massive dif but, on a large ticket item, it adds up.

Fred Habacht Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yes...I noticed it. They are still one of the best options for me to use. I am always willing to look at any other offers out there. Fred Habacht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Rupert Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Would like to know what ATM you are using with Capital One that does not charge fees. Even in Chapala, at Banorte machines, there are charges by the Chapala municipality for using them. I used to get pesos at El Torito, but that option is long gone.

oasiscloud Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 The peso has been devaluing pretty fast the past few weeks, so when it is in that mode I think we can probably expect a bigger difference between the rate you receive and what is published. Be happy with 18.94. It would have been 17.94 only a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookworm Posted October 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 II use CBanko at Laguna Mall. They charged me 17.40 pesos ($ .92 cents) to withdraw 19000 pesos. Oasis .... as I said, past experience with this card and this ATM resulted in a rate received that was very close to the published rate. (even back at the beginning of the year when it was crazy.

Mrs. Rupert Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 It has been a while, but I was charged around $2.50 to use the machine in Chapala by Chapala municipality. So, stopped going to Chapala and started using Walmart's machine which was the same charge as in Chapala. I did/do not know of any other locations of ATMs in the area that were put in by Banorte that would be Capital One no fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 See, some 'crat did away with that surcharge so the Transitos had to look elsewhere........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bournemouth Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 We used to use the Walmart Bancomer machine all the time, using a NOB card, and never experienced a surcharge from the Municipality of Chapala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 I don't believe there is any charge by the Municipio, only the bank machine charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Rupert Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 It was charged in the new location for the Banorte machine in Chapala- not Bancomer, and I was charged a fee by the municipality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the world could they collect money from you for using a bank ATM? I don't doubt your word, but that they could do it seems crazy to me.

johanson Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 I check the official Mexican peso to US dollar exchange rate each afternoon by going to http://www.banxico.org.mx/ It shows that as of noon today that the spot rate was 19.2188 pesos per US dollar Although I occasionally use an ATM to change dollars to pesos. I find that best way to do it is wire same directly to my Actinver Brokerage account, not Bank account at Actinver. I am sure that brokerage accounts at other institutions also provide great rates.

Mrs. Rupert Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Well, Liana, they did in the new location for Banorte in Chapala. That is why we use Superlake or Walmart for ATM transactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 The Banorte machine at Soriana charges a fee for CapitalOne cards on behalf of Soriana. Banorte charges nothing. I made a withdrawal at CI bank today around 12:30 and got 20.17 exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yo1 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yes, I know it is. The rate at CI bank was posted as 19.8. Perhaps the rate was higher at the time that I withdrew the pesos and then came down. OOPS--not math mistake, typing mistake. My rate was 19.17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
