What is a Surcharge?

A surcharge (or convenience fee) is a fee charged by an ATM owner at the time of the transaction and appears on the ATM receipt. A surcharge ranges from $1 to $3, and comes with a warning screen before the ATM transaction is complete. Surcharges are not the same as transaction or account fees, which would appear on a member's monthly statement - i.e. when a member exceeds the limits of a package account that comes with a fixed amount of free transactions per month.
