Some people reported they dont charge as long as you use the member bank, even in a country other than its own country, i.e. Scotia in Mexico has tons of branches, but it is dedicated as BofA ATM network member in Canada - someone reported he did not incur $5 by using Scotia in Mexico.
Barcley in UK is member bank of BofA ATM network - no fee.
I have not had the chance to check the bofA ATM network. While in countries such as Canada, Mexico, and the UK I'm sure the alliances are plentiful, what happens with local banks in obscure countries such as Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia (I used to live and work there?)
Again - I think there is a law that European countries cannot charge you a fee if you are coming from an a bank that is not a part of that country. In the UK, for example it explicitly mentions "Our bank does not charge you a fee for using this ATM. However, your bank may charge you a fee."
I've used the FirstIB ATM card in 20 European countries before and after the Euro conversion, and was never charged by a European bank. The only fee I incured was the 1% fee by VISA (for all VISA debit, credit, and other cards)
