Comparing different fee structures for cash withdrawals when travelling abroad.
Video Transcript
the video topic i'm about to talk about
is super dry so i'm going to do it in
the new goggles that i just bought
the topic we're talking about today is
when you should pull a big amount of
money out of the cash machine and when
you should pull as little as possible
out the machine
there's two ways that they're going to
charge you
if you pull money out in a local
currency when you pull machine
cash out the machine when you're
traveling they're either going to charge
you a fixed rate
or they're going to charge you a
percentage
if they charge you a fixed rate so i'm
in turkey it's turkish lira
some cash machines they say it's 35
turkish lira per transaction if that's
the case you want to take out as much
cash as you need
preferably more
you don't want to be going to the cash
machine and taking out 100 lira and
getting charged 35 you want to take out
2 000 3 000
do it in a safe way in a bank that where
you're inside and then take that money
and split it up between your bags i've
got another video on that if it's a
fixed
rate if it's a fixed amount you want to
take out as much money as possible
because that reduces
the charge per unit of currency that you
have pulled out
if on the other hand it's a percentage
so here a lot of the cash machines are
taking like six six point nine nine
percent
that's crazy that's
it's crazy anyway
in those situations it doesn't matter if
you take 50 lira out or 5 000 lira out
they're still going to charge you 6.99
so
just take out as little as you need
because it's the same you get the same
percentage per unit of currency that you
take out
so recap if it's a flat fee take out as
much as you can
if it's a percentage
it doesn't matter take out whatever you
want
do you like the new goggles i think
they're pretty cool
oh yeah
