There are several Hundred Scotia Banks and ATMs in Mexico! If You are a Scotia Bank Customer,there are No Fees! They certainly are Not everywhere but there are enough of them that We don't have a problem. We spend up to 4 Months in Mexico every Winter!
Get Your Local Canadian Scotia Bank Branch to bring in a Couple of Thousand dollars or so in. Pesos before You leave Home. This will get You started and You can then decide how long this amount lasts.! Then You will know when it is time to Replenish Your Cash Supply.
You also need to advise Your Bank of Your Plans and Cash Withdrawall expectations! Make a point of getting Your Daily Limit raised to the Maximum and have that amount Locked in permanently!
You will find that the Scotia ATMs in Mexico will post an amount and impose a Limit on how many Pesos You can Withdraw! It is going to be a lot less than what You have arranged at Home!
BUT Don't Panic ...You can as a Canadian get up to YOUR Daily Limit ,but You may have to make several separate withdrawals to do so! It varies by ATM and location so please don't get Yer Knikkers in a Knot if the Thing doesn't always spit out everything at one shot!
Anyway We have used Scotia Bank in Mexico and in several Other Countries with No Fees regardless of How little or How Much We have requested! It just takes a little patience sometimes!!
