Then, a follow-up question to this is, are there certain ATMs to use with a Chase Debit card?

there are many cards with no forex fee
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

At TD Bank you could walk in open an account and walk out with a debit card, there's no charges except for ATM withdrawals, but if you signup for an premiere (not sure what it's called, no fee) account and you keep a minimum balance of $2000 then ATM withdrawals are free as well.

Or Investors bank, you could open an get the card by mail and there's NO charge at all.

That happens to be true but why shouldn't I use the best card in each situation just like I do at home
