When traveling internationally, consumers are frequently hit with excessive and opaque fees when withdrawing cash from ATMs or exchanging currency. ATM operators in many countries charge flat surcharges of €4-5 per transaction, which can be 20-25% of small withdrawals, and currency exchange services like Travelex apply spreads that cost $140 on a $600 transaction. Existing fintech tools like Wise/Revolut help with interbank rates but do not solve physical ATM surcharges or in-person currency exchange margins. There is no reliable service that aggregates fee-free ATM locations and compares true exchange rates across providers, leaving travelers to discover these costs only after they are charged.
