usaa has a 1% foreign transaction fee.  They will refund the ATM fee, but AFAIK no Israeli BANK atms charge fees on foreign cards.

I don't have a chase debit card,  however I've used several different banks cards at leumi, discount, hapoalim, and never had a fee charged.

Thanks all.

Chase told me that they've got all kinds of fees on debit cards. What is Chase college?

Schwab wont allow any cash management tools to minors ( my daughter's 18th B-day is in Nov. BEH)

Create a schwab account in your name and give her the card to use

Also check out HSBC, I think they don't charge fees to use their debit card overseas and as mentioned above the vast majority of ATM's in Israel don't change fees
