I have made fee-free withdrawals from China Construction Back (HK) ATMs on numerous occasions in HKD/RMB. Please edit the article as appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.214.17.4 ( talk) 17:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I have reverted changes made to the article by 82.232.65.249 on January 22, 2010. The changes that were made by 82.232.65.249 on 1/22/2010 removed mention of China Construction Bank from the article. As far as I can tell, China Construction Bank is still part of the Global ATM Alliance, at least it is for Bank of America customers. If I'm wrong, please post some citations/references here on this talk page. Thank you. -Alex 72.193.9.106 ( talk) 01:13, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
It is not clear from this program if the fees charges for use are universal. It seems that each nation (outside the home country) has its own rules and a call to Bank of America did not clear it up. They will only guarantee the alliance works in the home country of the bank. So, for example, if you use a DB ATM in Poland it may or may not come with a fee. Perhaps people could up date based on experience under the avoiding fees section?
As I'm polish, I can confirm that I do not pay a fee by using DB ATM in Poland (I'm a client of Deutsche Bank Germany) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.86.36.23 ( talk) 22:57, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
On 5 August 2009, Jaldenh made an edit stating that since June 2009 the fee Bank of America charges its account holders for accessing an ATM outside the Global ATM Alliance in a foreign country has increased to $10. But, I've just checked, and all the literature that I have found don't indicate that this increased has happened. Jaldenh, if you are out there and reading this, please reply here with some references to document the fee increase. Until then, I can only assume that Jaldenh's edit was made in error. Thus, I have reverted the changes that Jaldenh made. Additionally, I have added more references which also indicate that the fee is currently $5.
I will include the references here as well:
Bank of America Info Center - ATM: Getting Started - click on the "Questions & Answers" tab, and scroll down to "What are the fees for using a Check Card or ATM card in a foreign country?"
Bank of America Schedule of Fees - June 5, 2009 - look in the "Other Account Fees" section and then look under the fee category "ATM"
Bank of America Schedule of Fees - California - June 5, 2009 - look in the "Other Account Fees" section and then look under the fee category "ATM"

Alright. I just did a little bit more research and I think I might have found out why Jaldenh made the erroneous edit to state that the fee increased to $10. I think Jaldenh might have based his/her edit on information in a post I found here ( http://www.fodors.com/community/travel-tips-trip-ideas/bank-of-america-to-charge-10-atm-on-foreign-wd-and-8-foreign-trans-fee.cfm) which points to an article here ( http://www.tripso.com/today/increase-bank-fees/). I found this article using a quick Google search. Disclaimer, I don't know how accurate the article at tripso.com is. But, even if I assume that the article is accurate, it is clear after a careful reading that the fees mentioned in that article are for "credit cards," not for "ATM/debit/check cards." That is, the fees mentioned in that article are for making a "cash advance" on a Bank of America credit card at an ATM, which would, of course, incur finance charges and fees. The post at fodors.com can be misleading because it is unclear what kind of card the poster is talking about, and the article at tripso.com can be misunderstood if not read carefully. I hope this clears everything up.
Conclusion: It is still $5.

I've just made changes to the wording in the Bank of America section to make it clear to readers that we are talking about ATM cards and debit cards (aka check cards). Hopefully there will be no more confusion. I.e., hopefully, no one will inadvertantly mistake the information to be about credit cards.

I don't think the Bank of America rules concerning the use of, say, Barclay's ATMs in, say, Tanzania are as clear as this article implies. I'm heading there soon and will report what I find. 220.232.232.98 ( talk) 01:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
IMPORTANT NOTE: I just got back from Portugal (2010-08) and was charged both a $5 fee per transaction and 1% on the transaction amount. I called Bank of America and was informed that only the originating country of the partner bank has no transaction fees imposed (the UK for Barclay's, Germany for Deutsche Bank, etc.). The current information on this Wikipedia entry seems wrong. There is only one country listed per bank on the Bank of America ATM locator. Usethe4s ( talk) 23:49, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
