and my bank can speak for their own service charges, but if there are any service charges applied at the Bali end, by the owners of the bank machine, then they will be applied to my account as well. Sometimes there are no additional charges from the bank machine used, but sometimes there are. Some countries you go to, the bank machines charge additional charges on transactions (over and above your own banks fees), and sometimes they can be quite large. It might be a government industry thing specific to certain countries, or if the machines are private owned, then the owners want their share of a profit, not unlike the fees the money changers charge. I just wanted to be prepared if this type of thing happens in Bali. If these sort of addtional fee happen, they would either appear over and above your own banks fees, or would be take out of the money given from the machine right there in Bali. Figures I would see if any regular travellers to Bali have ever notice that type of thing before.
Thanks for assistance given :-)
