I am not aware of any banks that do not charge to use their ATMs. Make sure that you always use a bank owned ATM. Independently owned ATMs are a ripoff. Just resolve to yourself that you will be paying some fee to use an ATM and get on with enjoying your trip. As the old saying goes, “There is no free lunch.”.
I just checked my latest bank statement which included my last trip. For one withdrawal in Austria, I paid $4.33; another in Switzerland was $4.06. Really insignificant amounts.
