| I have daughter studying in Paris this year. A BofA debit card is indeed helpful throughout Europe. I can add money to her account here and she can withdraw euros at any BNP Parabas bank without any fees. We also gave her a Capital One credit card for emergency use, which does not charge a currency conversion fee. Having said this, she also opened an account with a bank in Paris as she needs to pay rent and untilities (I can get the name if interested). |
