ATMs and currency exchange: which is better value?

There are a large number of ATMs from major Mexican banks in both terminals.

If you use a card with no currency conversion fees – such as Revolut – then withdrawing from an ATM is better value than using a currency exchange. You just need to bear in mind that all Mexican banks charge a withdrawal fee of around 180 mxn.

The exchange bureaux at MEX airport offer surprisingly favourable rates, but I still found it cheaper to withdraw money from an ATM using my Revolut card.
