    That's about right but I doubt Citi gives that favorable of a rate. In the end they are all similar but I opt for the free one personally.

    Yeah. That's what I meant. No transfer fees but there is a fee hidden and not explicitly shown to you in the conversion rate.

    Some banks limit the amount of foreign currency withdraw per day before charging a fee too (unless you covert the currency at their unfavorable rates). HSBC does. What about Citi?

    Where is Berlin exchange? Any fees? Usually if I want to change a currency other than RMB. I find the rates worst than the bank.

    I am currently researching the fees and rates of systems like Paypal and Western Union. If you know the fees and exchange rates please post here.

    I am a local.

    The best English should be HSBC.
    Most ATMs- Bank of China(HK), second most is HSBC and Hang Seng(Same system, same bank group)
    Their ATMs can be found in almost all MTR stations.
    Most cheapest fees and good exchage rates- Some smaller banks
