Hello all!

I'm looking around for some advice/recommendations from those of you out there that use or still have a Canadian bank account. Specifically, I'm looking for a Canadian bank that is easy to deal with, doesn't hit you with high foreign currency conversion fees, etc.

I've done some research online and there's very little to be found in terms of rates and fees (maybe banks don't want to let those secrets out).

I'm also looking to travel out of Korea while I'm in the region and since I've heard there are significant difficulties with getting a Korean credit card, I figure I'll have to use my Canadian PC Financial Mastercard to buy plane tickets, while travelling etc. Any advice in this aspect? Paying for online airplane tickets bought in Won with a Canadian credit card? Using the credit card outside of Korea?

Thanks for any and all advice!

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
