From a little recent travel experience, it's worthwhile going to a
branch from your bank and asking what other services are available
to lower ATM withdrawals. Many types of accounts will offer
packages to minimize these costs, including splitting your account
into two to double the monthly usage allowances.

Awhole lot Bank really do rip their clients off with bank charges,
and there really seems to be no way around it! There are services
that some banks offer, but unfortunately not all countries have
these services

I got off of the local bank charge bandwagon years ago, and get
better interst rates to boot. Currently I do basic checking/savings
with E-Trade Bank, which never charges a fee and E-Trade Bank will
even pay you back for the fees of using an ATM at another bank. But
I have actually never even got a refund though, even there is next
to no E-Trade Bank ATMs around (as in I have never had to pay the
fee). The reason me and my wife didn't pay for fees is because I
would go to Washington Mutual ATMs, which don't charge a fee (even
if you have no account with them), and my wife would simply ask for
extra cash back when she purchase something at the supermarket
using an ATM (no charges).
