Direct Express - US SSA benefits debit card

[drtreelove]

Is anyone in Thailand using the new Direct Express debit card to receive SS benefits?  I know that with an ATM withdrawal there is a 3% fee on top of the bank charges, but what about a bank teller cash withdrawal with the Direct Express MasterCard? Do we have to give up the same 3%?

Direct Express has a 1-800 tool free contact service number and a web page with SSA payment deductions for outside USA payments traveling the globe entering foreign country banks.  you should read details on the USA Drect Express  customer service web.  

 

The additional fees are added by foreign banks to  process  and convert USA dollars to foreign country and

can range up to another added 3% ? ? ?

 

The purpose use of Direct Express is to travel in and out of foreign countries with no need for Immigration police

letter approved passport registered foreign bank accounts...  If you lost your USA active bank account and or

other plastic derivatives then a SSA Direct Express Master Card is your border to border country to country travel money available instant at all Master Card ATM Debit card banks on the planet.......

 

There are abouts 820,00 USA SSA.GOV paid citizens on the planet according to Newsweek and just a few USA

old age long term retired USA SSA paid IDD direct bank accounts in Thailand...  These people have established

International Direct Deposit bank accounts, home residence. etc, Immigration verified bank accounts so have no need for Master Card Direct Express ATM DEBIT CARD to hop borders travel the globe because they have a home address government registered SSA deposited resident bank account issue them country bank plastic Master DEBIT card.

 

Why the long story you decide if the add on local bank fees added to the Direct Express DEBIT Master card is

what you need traveling gypsy country to country with USA SSA.GOV money because you have no USA bank

derivatives and have no foreign registered SSA.GOV resident / retirement bank account
