ATM Fee Saver is the brainchild of two seasoned travellers and tech
enthusiasts – from India and Germany.
We’ve been travelling for 8+ years to 60+ countries, 5 continents… as
backpackers, budget and luxury travellers.
And even though our wallets
grew smaller on each journey,
we were much richer in experiences! But in all this fun and glory, one
thing always pained us.
Whenever we used an ATM in a foreign country to
withdraw our hard-earned money,
they’d charge us fees to do so! You may say, “Sure, they’re providing a
service. Service isn’t usually free.” We totally get that.
Over years, we (and you probably too) have donated-oops-paid loads of
money to such ATM providers!
Initially, we’d accept these fees out of ignorance. Then, we’d snub it
off saying, “2% of our withdrawal amount is tiny!” Like many of you,
we’d choose convenience of the closest ATM, rather than finding if
there’s one just meters away with a lower fee (there usually is!).
Behold the day when one of us added these fee amounts over a 6-month
travel.
Safe to say, we cried to see just how much money was lost in such “tiny
fees”! Chats with fellow travellers on the topic always riled up similar
emotions.
Shouldn’t you rather spend this money on other experiences? (Glasses of
fine wine, maybe?)
Hence, we decided to create the ATM Fee Saver app. To help all you
fellow travellers find the lowest fee ATM near you, when you travel
abroad. Whether you’re a one-time traveller or regular, short or long
term, budget or luxury, use the app and see just how much you save up,
it’s indeed a good feeling!
