7 CARDS TESTED — 2 ACTUALLY FREE

Full transcript

I tested seven cards while traveling abroad. Five hit me with fees — hidden percentage charges, ATM surcharges, currency markups. Only two cards actually delivered on their 'zero ATM withdrawal' promise. One works anywhere. The other limits you to just ten free withdrawals per month, then charges you. Most cards hide fees deep in fine print — a percentage you don't see until the receipt hits your bank. That's why I use a transparent card — no hidden ATM markups. See your options at defycard.com.
