Check with other banks about their ATM rates.
We have never paid more than $2.50 with our bank's Visa ATM card.

Does anyone know of a US card that has no charge at Baja banks ??

use the Santander ATM - they have a relationship with B of A so there should be no fee from Santander or B of A. But FIRST, check your ATM card. You may have to have a "Prima" account for this. Call B of A to check. There a Santander ATM in the Commercial Mexicana and another on the corner of Reforma and Delante. You can use a Citibank card at Banamex with no charge. There is an existing thread on this subject:

BTW, if you have a B of A account, you can also use Scotia Bank without any fees. I prefer this ATM to Sanander's because it gives me cash in smaller denominations. Santander gives me 500 peso notes, which are impossible to get change for.

We Pay 1% to withdraw funds from the ATM's here in San Felipe.
EDR Atm- AM/PM Atm- 7=11 Atm, rarely go to the bank Atm. Lines are too long.

My experience with using my Bank of America debit card at Santander in La Paz is the same as others...no fee. I also learned the hard way when I was charged $5 per transaction at other banks. Bank of America also has a "no fee transfer of funds" from the US to certain Mexican banks. Santander is one of the Mexican banks, but you can check with them for the complete list. We always send money down to our account in Baja before heading south in the fall.
