Schwab-- free atm
if any of you have a Schwab brokage account, they have the high yield checking account which gives you worldwide free atm withdrawals. You are initially charged but refunded at the end of the month. Schwab was recently in the news as very stable; having a return on investment of 26%.

This morning I received ACH deposit onto my account, no problems. Early this afternoon I made ATM withdrawal here in the DR, again, no problems.

I, too, was able to move funds between accounts with no problem: WaMu to Citi.

Here is an alternative to Washington Mutual: Capital One (High Yield Money Market Account).
ATM withdrawal charges
(i) United States. We will not charge you any fees for ATM withdrawals; but fees may be charged by the owner of the ATM and at certain ATMs owned and operated by Capital One Bank (USA), N.A. located in gaming establishments and other non-branch locations, you may be charged a fee for each cash withdrawal.
(ii) International transactions/Outside the United States. We will not charge you any fees for ATM withdrawals; but fees may be charged by the owner of the ATM.
I have read that branch-based customers might pay $1.50 USD per withdrawal. I think branch-based customers are any who live in Connecticut, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York and Texas.
Here is the link for the two quotes, below.
Outside of North America, ATM fees are uncommon at bank ATMs, but are becoming more common at private ATMs inside shops, convenience stores, etc.
Fees appear to vary depending on the account-holder's state of residence and/or how the account was opened. Branch-based customers in NY report a $1.50 fee, for example, while accounts opened through CapOne Direct Banking in regions without CapOne branches do not have a $1.50 fee. Be sure to check the terms for your particular account before traveling.

Bank of America account's are not charged any ATM fees to use Scotia Bank ATM's in DR, and the tasa is as good as/better than any cambio.
