Flee the Fees

This article is about saving money on ATM fees. It also describes the difference between overdraft protection plans and bounce protection plans. (Take the former if given the option.)

The best bit of information in this is to use cash back at stores instead of other banks’ ATM machines. Some cash back stores charge 50 cents or a dollar if the original purchase is beneath a certain amount, but one dollar is about a quarter of what you’ll pay in ATM fees at the machines.
