Tired of paying ATM fees? Alliant offers ATM Rebates!

All checking accounts are not created equal, and when shopping around for a new financial institution, it is always a good idea to investigate the potential fees associated with the accounts. Some financial institutions charge you just to have a checking account or charge a monthly fee when your balance is under a certain amount. And most banks charge you whenever you use an ATM that isn’t inside one of their own locations.

Over the last decade, rising fees are common throughout the financial industry. Learn how you can avoid blowing your budget on ATM fees.

What are ATM fees

ATM fees are a huge part of the cost that many Americans pay for their checking accounts, and they have been steadily increasing in the past few years. The average ATM fee, according to Bankrate.com, now stands at $4.77 per transaction, when using an out-of-network ATM, which is a new record high.

And even though a fee of a few dollars may not sound like a lot, if you have a bank checking account and use out-of-network ATMs often, the cost adds up very quickly. “If you’re in the market for a new checking account, look for a bank that’ll reimburse you for out-of-network ATM charges. Thirty-two percent of the banks in Bankrate’s survey offer customers free out-of-network withdrawals,” says Amanda Dixon in a Bankrate article.
