I have tried withdrawals on Banco Leon and Banco del Progreso ATM's and I was not charged any withdrawal fee, all I got was 1.5% conversion fee, which is standard on any international withdrawals and purchases, and most banks and card companies charge 2% upwards (DR banks cahrge 4%, for example).
What type of account do you have? Is it called Wamu Free checking?
