Shared ATMs Charged Me 30 Cents
Written on November 21, 2007 – 10:52 pm | by Keith Neo
What is 30 cents (about 10 pence) to different people? Well, it’s a piece of cake! However, I still dislike the idea of having shared ATM (those that dispenses cash) charging me something each time I withdraw a cash. The fact that the bank mentioned it’s a shared services; it should rightfully be free!
Anyway, I learnt my lesson after checking through my account statement today, just to realise that I was charged 30 cents all the time each transaction took place at a shared ATM, which does not belong to my bank.
Initially, my thought was that it could be a bank’s error, but upon checking the website, I realised it’s the following:
- Free for 1st 2 transactions on Shared ATM
- 30 cents per transaction thereafter on Shared ATM
Knowing this fact is enough! The next time if I would go ahead and withdraw money, I would head off directly to my bank’s ATM instead.
Furthermore, it is absolutely Preposterous for the ATM (or rather, the Bank) not to warn users that they will be charged a fee during the process of any transaction, despite it was mentioned in the website.
Fine print…. *sigh*
Anyway, I am extremely disappointed and I am utterly disgusted!

As you guessed via google. As long as you allow spiders in your site, its difficult to keep information out of it. But exactly how, I can’t remember. You can look at your server log files to see which keyword.
