ATM fees to increase

Bank of America raises ATM fees:

So apparently there is an uproar about the fees going from $2 to $3 for non-Bank of America customers that use a Bank of America ATM.

To me I could care less. I rarely use cash, and if I do need anything I would go to the nearest Walgreens/CVS and buy a pack of gum and take out cash using my debit card.

Does the fee increase really bother anyone? Hell I wonder why people are always upset that the postage stamps go up about 2 cents every 5 years.

Bank of america is the worst bank you can sign up too. I fuckin hate my account.

What's wrong with it?  I have 3 different "Bank of America" accounts (regular, military, and overseas community bank).  Its pretty stupid, but in my situation I didn't have much of a choice.  Either way I haven't had any problems with them.  Then again I just have a simple checking and savings account.

Haha, I have USAA..we pay no fees.  The machine charges you, USAA credits you for the charge.  So yah, no fees.

Isn't that a military banking system? 

As far as BofA, i've had no problems with them. I just go to a BofA atm if i need to pull out cash. their everywhere anyways!

I haven't had any problems with BofA. I guess people are mad because there are so many BofA ATM's so even if you aren't a BofA customer it was convienient to use them.

It is, and I've got it as well.  I have no idea why I need so many basic accounts.  I guess I should look into closing a couple of them :pat:

Doesn't Compass Bank offer free ATM fees at any ATM as well?

Compass, Bank of Texas, and Capitol One. Not sure if wachovia is but they are offering a free 75.00 gift card to Academy when you sign up for an account. Lots of banks offer free atms nationwide now. The bank I work for pays the fees once you bring in the receipts.

keep in mind those 'free' atm services have a service fee at the end of the month of like 6-10 dollars.

UMMM...what bank would that be?  USAA never charges that.  Never heard about that from Compass either.

Nope no hidden fees here either.

I do, Bank of the West, and a couple others do it, or may have. They may have stopped after I quit with them.
