For travellers, exchange students and expats it is often very inconvenient to withdraw cash in a foreign country. If your home bank offers partnerships with banks in the respective country, they are usually not widely available and not close by. However, withdrawing cash from a cash machine that is not in your bank network might amount to high fees.

For these reasons, we were very excited when we found out about the DKB Cash account with a free VISA card for free worldwide cash withdrawal. There is no account opening fee and no monthly or yearly fee. Even the VISA card is always free. You can withdraw cash with the VISA card from any cash machine worldwide and mostly pay no fees – some countries still take fees for credit card withdrawals. But these fees are not taken by DKB, just from the third-party ATM service.
