Interesting. Now the HSBC bank will belong to a colombian bank and it will make the biggest in the region. I only wish that they improve their service to customers.
I`ve just used my credit card to get cash out ,as most your purcheses are in cash in Boquete...I think my BoA debit card charged me $3 to take out $500 cash....not bad
Chase VISA and MC credit cards work here without fees beyond any your would see in the US. Unlike Citi or BA chase does not consider US dollars in Panama a foreign currency transaction.
Chase Debit cards also work with two fees, $3 from the Panama Clave network regardless of withdrawal amount. Chases will also add a Non Chase ATM fee last I looked it was $5, that might be 1% since I withdrew $500.

It is good the clarification. It resulted very strange for me that HSBC will be leaving Panama. A very important an interesting market for them.
Exactly, not closing, selling out to another bank. Wait for details before panic sets in/
