So Charles Schwab wouldn't let me open a checking account from abroad, and since I won't be back in America anytime soon, I have to seek out another checking account option. I currently have Bank of America, which charges obscene fees (ATM fees, % foreign transaction fees). What other debit cards would you recommend for traveling nomads? Thanks!
(Also trust me, I argued my ass off over the phone with several employees at Charles Schwab - couldn't do anything about it.)
EDIT- I've found these but unsure if they're legit/hiding any other (hidden) fees:
https://www.fidelity.com/cash-management/atm-debit-card (no ATM fees, just 1% foreign transaction fee) https://www.firstrepublic.com/personal/c...e-checking (no ATM fees, unsure what foreign transaction fee is)
