Beginning August 15, Bank of America no longer waiving fees at Santander
I recently received an email from B of A stating:
"We want to let you know about an upcoming change since you've used Banco Santander ATMs in the past:
Beginning August 15, 2016, if you use your Bank of America card at a Banco Santander ATM in Mexico for a withdrawal, transfer or balance inquiry, our
Non-Bank of America International ATM Usage Fee of $5 and the Santander ATM operator access fee will no longer be waived."

I was under the impression that BofA and Santander stopped all freebees a couple of years ago (or more).

Bank of America issued my Alaska Airline Visa card, and I am OK using that for credit purchases.
I have never used it for cash draws, and with those fees, I never will! Five bucks, plus Mexico bank fees for things like a transfer or balance
inquiry? Ridiculous!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Well that just sucks. And just when I thought I had it all figured out.
I wonder if there is another bank in the US that has a partnership with a bank in Mexico. It sure would be nice to avoid those fees.

Wonder how long before they change as well. One of the few left waiving fees except for smaller credit Unions.

my CU allows me $600/day and charges a fee. if BA charges $5+$3+/- by the atm owner that adds up to what? 1.3%??? not a large sum to get money from a
machine-in a foreign country-24 hours a day.

Not according to this statement on the Fidelity web site!
"there is a foreign transaction fee of one percent that is not waived, which will be included in the amount charged to your account."
