src: media2.ausbt.com.au

The Global ATM Alliance is a joint venture of several major international banks that allows customers of their banks to use their automated teller machine (ATM) card or debit card at another bank within the alliance with no international ATM access fees. Other fees, such as an international transaction or foreign currency fee, may still apply for some account holders. Participating banks include Australasia, Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, and South America.

The participating banks are as follows. Some of the listed banks, however, may honor ATM reciprocity only in one country for certain allied banks, e.g., fees may not be charged for Barclays branches in the United Kingdom, but fees may be charged for branches of Barclay's in other countries.

  • Bank of America (United States)
  • Barclay's (United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Pakistan, Gibraltar, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and other countries in Africa)
    • Barclays Africa Group (South Africa)
  • BNP Paribas and its affiliate banks (France, Ukraine, Turkey, Poland, Morocco, Italy, New Caledonia, RĂ©union, Guyane, Guadeloupe, Martinique, and Luxembourg)
  • Banca Nazionale del Lavoro (Italy)
  • Deutsche Bank (Germany, Poland, Belgium, India, Spain, and Portugal)
  • Scotiabank (Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Guyana, and the Caribbean)
  • Westpac (Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Papua New Guinea)
    • Westpac Banking Corporation (Australia)
    • Westpac New Zealand Limited (New Zealand)
    • Westpac Pacific Banking (Fiji, Papua New Guinea)

Bank-specific rules and information

Bank of America account holders

There are three separate fees that may apply to Bank of America account holders when using their ATM or debit cards outside the United States:

  • The 3 percent "international transaction fee" for converting currencies. This fee is not waived under the Global ATM Alliance.
  • The "non-Bank of America usage fee" for each withdrawal, transfer, or balance inquiry at non-Bank of America ATMs outside the United States. This fee is waived under the Global ATM Alliance within the following coverage areas.
  • The "ATM operator access fee". This fee is waived under the Global ATM Alliance within the following coverage areas.

Westpac Bank Australian account holders

Westpac cash withdrawal fee

A holder of a Westpac Australia "everyday bank account" or "savings account" may incur a A$5 fee when making a successful cash withdrawal at an ATM outside Australia. This fee does not apply to two types of savings accounts: "eSaver" and "Bump Savings". The fee is waived when using a Mastercard/Cirrus ATM of a participant in the Global ATM Alliance in the following countries:

Westpac Australia foreign transaction fee

A holder of a Westpac Australia "everyday bank account" or "savings account" may incur a foreign transaction fee equal to 3 percent of the Australian dollars transaction amount when making a debit or credit card withdrawal at an ATM outside Australia. This fee is composed of the 2 percent Westpac processing fee and the 1 percent Westpac on-charged scheme fee. This fee is not waived when using an ATM of the Global ATM Alliance.

Westpac New Zealand account holders

For Westpac's New Zealand account holders, using a Global ATM Alliance ATM machine means Westpac will waive its NZ$3 international transaction fee that would be charged at other overseas ATMs. All other fees apply, including a 2.5% foreign currency conversion fee.

The list of countries covered by the Global ATM Alliance fee waiver differs for Westpac NZ clients from that for Westpac Australia clients. Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and China are not listed as included in the scheme on the Westpac NZ website.

Barclays account holders

A customer can withdraw cash from a Barclays account from a cash machine in the Global Alliance without transaction charges. If the customer uses a cash machine that isn't in the Global Alliance or use a Barclaycard, additional charges apply.
