<prompt> Human: I travel a decent amount internationally and looking to get the CS checking account strictly for when i travel to avoid ATM fees. Has anyone have experience with them or have any better options for avoiding atm fees abroad  <response>: You should create a travel notice for Schwab online, or call customer service, before you travel, so that your card transactions do not get blocked when you are abroad. Also do same for your credit cards if required.My experience with using Schwab for ATM withdrawals has been excellent. Have done this so far in Montreal, Berlin, and Budapest. It is extremely convenient to be able to stroll into a bank ATM area and take just what you need in local currency for a few days, rather than having to carry around large amounts.
