Trying to avoid paying crazy ATM fees while traveling in Australia. Anyone found ATMs that are free for foreign cards? Would love specific banks or locations if possible.
Used my Visa Debit card at Commonwlth - got charged A$7.50. Machine worked fine and somehow made me feel more comfortable... maybe because I got my money!
At Commonwlth Bank in Australia, theres a fixed minimum charge of A$7.50 for any withdrawal. Pretty steep, especially for smaller amounts.
Used a Swiss debit card at the Commonwlth ATM and withdrew A$500. No issues, might allow even higher limits.
No queue at the Commonwlth Bank ATM. Used my UK Revolut card to withdraw A$1000 - everything worked perfectly.
Another NAB ATM charging A$7.50 for international cards. It works, but the fee stings.
NAB wanted to charge me A$7.50 in fees. Thats a lot - definitely check before confirming!
NAB ATM let me withdraw A$500 with my foreign debit card. Great experience, no issues at all.
Used my Dutch debit card at WESTPAC - got hit with a A$4 withdrawal fee. Otherwise, the machine worked fine.
Was able to withdraw A$2000 from WESTPAC without issues. The ATM was super clean and well-maintained.
WESTPAC ATM charges fees for international cards - keep that in mind if youre using a foreign debit or credit card.
ANZ charged me A$2 access fee - expected, but annoying.
ANZ ATM in Australia was running low on cash - I could only withdraw A$1500 with my European card. Not ideal.
High fees at HSBC and the ATM surroundings were dirty. Youd think with what they charge they could afford basic cleaning.
Really annoying: HSBC ATMs always give out $20 notes. When withdrawing a large amount, I had to stand in line at the counter for $50s. Took 20+ minutes just to exchange notes!
