At the ATM: 10 Ways to Minimize Fees and Maximize Security


Many depositors


who need cash often turn to automated teller


machines


(ATMs) because of the convenience. But that


convenience


can come with costs. Here are 10 things to keep in mind at the ATM so that the cash coming out of your account


goes into


your pocket. Know which


ATMs you can use for free. For many people, the availability and cost of ATMs are big reasons why they choose one bank over another. Generally, you can use your own financial institution's ATMs without incurring fees. Your institution may also be part of a larger, no-fee ATM network. Talk to a bank representative to learn more or visit your institution's website to search for its ATMs.


If you cannot use a fee-free ATM in your bank's network, know that fees can


vary. By law, the fee that the operator of an ATM may charge for a withdrawal or other transaction must be disclosed on the screen of the machine or on a printout so that you can cancel the transaction before paying any fees. These charges can vary widely, so consider finding another ATM if the fee is larger than you expect. In addition to incurring fees from the ATM operator, you may be charged a fee by your bank for using a machine that's not within its ATM network.
