Average ATM charge hits $1.78
From Times Wire Services
Getting money from an automated teller machine can be costly these days, especially if the ATM isn’t owned by the bank at which you have your checking or savings account.
A survey by Bankrate.com, an online financial information service based in North Palm Beach, Fla., found that the average surcharge for use of a “foreign” ATM had risen to a record $1.78 from the previous high of $1.64 a year earlier.
