I know this might just reflect financial culture differences across countries, but let’s give it a try

Edit: as a clarification, I meant credit card compared to debit, not to cash

    Schwab’s Investor checking is a god send if you’re traveling to a country that deals largely in cash transactions.

    The refund any and all transaction and conversion fees for ATM withdraws which can be egregious for visitors to some countries.

    That way you don’t have to carry around gobs of cash your whole trip…

      Fidelity largely does the same. So if you already have a Fidelity account, don’t bother making a Schwab account, just get their debit card (make sure it’s a Cash Management account though).
