How much do British banks charge to use their ATM's...?

Question

I have an account with Washington Mutual in the US. How much do British banks (specifically HSBC, but others if you know) charge to use their ATMs - to make withdrawls from a foreign (Washington Mutual) checking account?

Answer 1

Many Cash Points (ATM's) (Including HSBC, Barclay's etc.) that you find off the sidewalk do not add a charge in withdrawing money from their machines if you have a UK account. Some ATM's in corner stores will charge you, though, I think 1.50.
You will need to check with your bank, Washington Mutual, how much they will charge for taking money out of a foreign bank.

Answer 2

Most ATMs (we generally call them cash machines) are free to use, but your American bank will probably charge you for each transaction in a foreign currency (i.e. the pound), so you'll need to check with your bank first.

Answer 3

if taking money out of an ATM, apparently the rate charged is the national exchange rate. That's what i've been told, but not a 100% sure.

Answer 4

ATMs are free to use but not sure about withdrawals from foreign accounts.

Answer 5

Hi
Some charge about $4 per transaction, no Wells Fargo in the UK
