Anyone know if any of these banks have ATMs in MAD airport?

Barclays (United Kingdom)
BNP Paribas (France)
Deutsche Bank (Germany)
Santander Serfin (Mexico)
Scotiabank (Canada)
Westpac (Australia and New Zealand)

I'd like to take advantage of the surcharge free Global Alliance ATMs through Bank of America as soon as I get into MAD. I've tried using the following link, but I can't get any decent info:

It's a very simple question you asked and there's a very simple answer.
The answer is "no".
It looks like the agreement is valid only for the countries you have listed in brackets.

Well I know most of those banks have international branches in Madrid. I merely listed their countries of origin for reference.

Most of the international branch operations I've come across are separate from the home-country systems...AFAIK none of these banks have significant retail operations in Spain (not sure about Santander Serfin).
And you should also check what "surcharge free" means. A friend of mine has accounts with HSBC in the UK and Greece. There is no surcharge for withdrawals, but money is converted at the retail rate so he ends up paying over 5% more than he would at a non-allied bank that would charge a surcharge but use the interbank rate.

You'll only find ATMs from Spanish banks in Spanish airports. In BCN it's BBVA and La Caixa. I think it's the same in MAD.

Any ATM you use in Spain will display the fee that you will get charged for using the ATM before doing the transaction. If you agree you get charged the fee if you press NO everything stops and your card comes back out.
So just try various ATM's and see which one has the lowest fee!
