I haven't been able to confirm the following so if anybody could confirm for me that would be great:
- Aldi supermarkets, not sure if fee free or low fee. Some stores don't have ATM. Don't make special trip.

True no-fee ATMs?

True no-fee ATMs?
Does such a thing still exist?
I'm not talking about no-surcharge ATMs for in-network cards (where they won't charge you a fee if you use an ATM that's part of the card's network). I'm talking about an ATM that doesn't charge a fee for anyone's card, regardless of the network.
There are a number of reloadable cards that can be unloaded at ATMs (once they have been registered). You often get one withdrawal a month without being charged a fee by the card company (for example, the blue, reloadable American Express prepaid card - these were so nice to buy at OD up until last weekend). But these cards are not part of any ATM network (at least none that I've been able to identify) so you still have to pay the ATM fee.
I've been looking for an ATM that does not charge a fee (for any card). I know these used to exist (a few years ago) but I have been unable to find one recently.
Have true fee-free ATMs vanished from the earth completely?

You might want to take a closer look at that statement.
I'm a member of two credit unions. My wife is a member of two other credit unions. None of them offer a true no-fee ATM. All of them proudly proclaim that they offer no-fee ATMs. What they really mean is that their ATMs won't charge a fee for their own members' cards (or cards of other in-network providers). This is the norm these days.
Now, I'm not saying your credit union doesn't offer a true no-fee ATM, but unless you've looked closely and confirmed, you might be surprised. I was - I expected my credit union would be better about this. They weren't. YMMV.

It used to be true that a foreign ATM card was not charged any local ATM fees at ATMs in other countries, but this has changed markedly in the past couple of years. But there remain exceptions:
1. In Australia - SunCorp.
2. In Canada - Bank of Montreal.
3. In Cambodia - Canadia Bank.
Please feel free to add to this list.
