I've never had to pay a fee to withdraw cash from an ATM in the USA, unless it was from a different bank than mine. Other banks charge for the convenience of taking your money from their ATM, when you don't have an account with their bank or affiliate.

It's easy to avoid those fees by just going to your own bank's ATM.

For the record - that's generally also how it works in Europe. Or well, Germany at least. Also there are independent ATM companies (Euronet and the like) not affiliated with major banks who charge outrageous fees to everyone desperate enough to use one of their ATMs.

I've only touched a Euronet ATM to write "SCAM" on it, to warn those unaware of the dangers awaiting them...
