Understanding ATM Fees

What is a surcharge fee?
A surcharge fee is imposed by certain ATM network owners when a foreign cardholder-someone who is not a customer of their institution-uses their machine. Any machine with a surcharge must disclose the amount and give you the option to cancel your transaction without paying the fee.

How do I avoid surcharge fees?
To avoid surcharge fees, find a CO-OP Network ATM near you. Conduct surcharge-free transactions at more than 25,000+ CO-OP Network ATMs across the country.

What is a SDFCU transaction fee?
This is an additional $1.00 per transaction network fee that may apply to you when using all non-SDFCU ATMs. A network fee is the cost of participating in an ATM network such as STAR.This fee appears on your statement as NETWORK ATM FEE.
