I paid $3.00 for 4000 pesos. It shows on my account not at the ATM
Yes it was my ATM/Debit card and the fee shows on my statement but you are right. The $3 was for 2000 pesos. It was $6.7? for 4000.

I usually pay $3 when using an atm in Mexico and I have BBVA Compass but as someone said when you're getting 4000 pesos and you pay $3 for the transaction... no different than using an out of network atm in Phoenix unless it's at the strip club then you pay $10 per transaction plus the wad you just blew putting money down someone's daughter's panties...

On Tuesday at another bank, BaNorte, I withdrew 10,000 pesos and was charged 46 pesos,
Wells Fargo took another $5 for a combined total of approx. $8 or 1.4% in fees.
That is the fee regardless of the amount, so I always withdraw at least 8-10,000 pesos, to keep the fees minimal. I received 18-1.
Another transaction, My kids took out $60 and it came out to 16%.
after I explained how it works all of my kid's
are wiser now and will only buy pesos from us or take out at least $200 to split up between them.
We are using pesos for 99% of all purchases now, mainly because of all the places giving 15-16 to 1,
and we are always getting 2-3 pesos more because withdrawing from a US bank will always get the latest exchange rate.
