You don't say where you are, but I assume you mean to use an
American ATM card. I have never yet had a European ATM charge me
for using my American ATM card. That doesn't include Germany
(yet) but it does include the UK, Sweden, France, Finland and
Estonia.

Do German banks charge a fee for ATM withdrawals if you do not have an
account in the bank whose ATM you are utilizing? Thanks for the help.

Hi, if you are a customer of "Bank of America", than use the ATM 's of
Deutsche Bank, you don t have
to pay a fee or charge for withdrawls with your Bank of America card....

No, I don't use bank of America. Does Deutsche Bank charge a fee
otherwise? What about other banks? Thanks!!

I never had my bank (Credit Union) or the foreign ATM charge me.
This goes for France, Netherlands and at the ATMs in Frankfurt,
Germany.

Ann: as a general rule, ATMs throughout Europe do not add a fee for
withdrawals in the same way that ATMs in the US do.

In the US, it's quite common to use an ATM and withdraw say, $100, and the
amount "charged" by the ATM to your bank is maybe $101.50 or $102 - the ATM
adds a handling fee.

In Europe, apart from some ATMs actually inside shops, this is very rare.
If you take ?100 from an ATM in Europe, a debit for ?100 will be sent to
your bank/credit card company. Now, the exchange rate applied and fee
charged by *your bank* can vary, and you need to check with them.

Yes, my bank charged me a hefty fee a while back claiming it was the
European banks that imposed part of it. It wasn't, and I was refunded
the money, but just want to be sure beforehand this time.

Thanks for the information.
