Your question is kind of confusing, but if you are going to be traveling abroad, check with your bank on your debit card, and credit card to see how much they charge for international transaction fees. Also, notified the bank that you will be out of country, giving them which country you will go to so that your card will not be declined. Each transaction, the bank usually charge a small fee but normally credit card won't. I wouldn't bring so much cash though due to pick-pockets. Don't forget, they DO have ATM there so you could withdraw money from wherever you're at. It's cheaper that way compared to money exchange at the airport or local bank. Don't do checks, it's a pain in the ####### and most places don't take checks abroad.

In United States, there are many credit cards that comes with special feature " No Transaction fee for International payment ".

Here are two cards that I know:

#1 - American Express Platinum Card

#2 - Capitalone

There would be many companies as some of their cards have no transaction fee for International payment.

For bigger items such as plane flights and hotel bills, I pay by credit card.

For pocket money, I use an ATM card. My bank charges $5 per withdrawal, and I'll usually withdraw $200 at a time.

Let your card companies know when you're going overseas so they don't deny your cards.
