I'm currently living in the Netherlands and I found some awesome, (for me) novel things, like ATMs all being from one company that all the banks in NL share ownership in. That means no matter your bank you dont pay for getting cash. Which is ironic cos I dont need cash as much anymore since non-cash payments are so much more prevalent here compared to Germany, for example.
I was just on the Turkish coast and to my surprise, I found an ING atm. "Sweet, its my bank so I shouldn't have any fees!" I said to my boat driver (who only speaks Turkish).
They charged me like 3%.
Oh he spoke other languages, it's just easier to pretend not to
ING Turkey โ ING Netherlands โ ING anywhere else
