For example, we have a Capital One debit card that doesn’t charge any fees for using an out-of-network ATM, including outside the United States. It also doesn’t charge for taking out colones.

   Dec 28, 2023 · Check the back of your debit cards, if it says “visa” “cirrus” or “plus” it will work fine. Scotia will be no problem anywhere, suspect Tangerine will be the same.

   Most ATMs in Costa Rica charge fees, though we have heard of some cards not being charged a fee with Banco de Costa Rica so this is worth trying first. Fees are usually around 1,500 to 2,000 Costa Rican Colon, with the standalone machines in shops and tourist areas attracting higher fees and also taking a surprisingly high commission with the currency exchange rate they offer.
