Using a Debit Card outside the Euro zone

Rates and fees for foreign currency exchange withdrawals vary by bank and card.  Have you tried calling the customer service number on the back of your card and asking those questions?  Or going directly to your local bank?

Generally, one would expect the exchange rates would be the current interbank rate + whatever percentage CA adds + whatever percentage MC adds (generally 3%, I think) + whatever flat fee CA adds for withdrawals from anything but their own bank terminals.

All that notwithstanding, debit card withdrawals may still be the cheaper option.
