I get transfers hitting my foreign account from places like Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, or Italy, and they send me all the payment confirmations. Every single one of those USD transactions hitting my account shows up as 0 (zero) United States Dollars. Only my bank gets to skim some cash off the top in United States Dollars. It all comes down to the banks and whether the countries they operate in let them run wild or actually keep them on a leash—just look at how things work elsewhere.
Around here, it’s basically a free-for-all for the banks. They just bleed their clients dry while dodging every question you throw at them.
The Czechs feel the exact same way—they think their banks are straight-up robbing people with these ridiculous fees. That’s actually why they set up www.bankovnipoplatky.com back in 2005. On that site, people even vote on what the most absurd banking fee of the year is. http://bit.ly/2mFZlEz
