These fees sound the same, but they are different. An ATM “foreign” fee is paid to the debit card’s issuing bank for using an out-of-network ATM (a “foreign” ATM). These fees vary from bank to bank, but recent surveys show that the national average is about $1.29 per transaction. An ATM “foreign transaction fee” refers to a fee that is paid to the issuing bank for using ATMs to convert foreign currency — usually while in a foreign country. These fees also vary from bank to bank, but usually range between 1-5% of the total amount being converted. These fees are not exclusive. It is possible to be charged both a “foreign” fee, a “foreign transaction fee” and even other ATM fees all in the same transaction.
