In Santiago, the Santander hole in the wall wanted 7 euro's transaction charge on a Starling card. However, Abanka ?? (the local bank I think) wanted a more realistic 1.8 euros. It pays to try a few if you are not in a rush.Hi folks. Old topic I know! Arrived in Valencia last night. Not been here for few months. Seems to be a few banks that have increased ATM fees for UK cards. Deutsche Bank still feeless (Monzo card) and apparently rate is good though I have to check this. Showing 1.15 on app. €7 is becoming the norm.
My point is that if you are a UK cardholder DB is a good option to use as a ATM. Was that not clear!And your point is?
Agreed!In Santiago, the Santander hole in the wall wanted 7 euro's transaction charge on a Starling card. However, Abanka ?? (the local bank I think) wanted a more realistic 1.8 euros. It pays to try a few if you are not in a rush.
Thank you. Caixa wanted €7 last night and had previously been my ‘go to’ in Spain as they charged €2 as recently as late last year! ! Google search offered up DB hence why sharing!Here is a link to the Resource ATM chest sheet.
Having never, in my nearly 60 years of visiting Spain, have I ever seen a branch of Deutsche Bank so I can understand @biarritzdon 's bemusement.My point is that if you are a UK cardholder DB is a good option to use as a ATM. Was that not clear!
Wel I googled DB this morning and there was one within a mile so you need to widen your horizons!Having never, in my nearly 60 years of visiting Spain, have I ever seen a branch of Deutsche Bank so I can understand @biarritzdon 's bemusement.
Apparently there are some branches dotted around the peninsular - probably not enough for most here to get excited about but thank you for pointing it out.
Deutsche Bank Branches in Spain
Thank you. I wasn’t intending to start a big debate or attract any abuse (albeit inevitable on here)., just a quick bit of help to UK cardholders that I could have used 30 hours ago! to save data and walking about!Abanca all the way if you find them. Always select EUR for the currency too, as that question often gets people flustered.
Yes, but a mile from where? (And there's no need to be so passive-aggressive, I was only trying to help!)Wel I googled DB this morning and there was one within a mile so you need to widen your horizons!
I thought the ATM fees were outrageous!!Hi folks. Old topic I know! Arrived in Valencia last night. Not been here for few months. Seems to be a few banks that have increased ATM fees for UK cards.

Too true. Someone always pays somewhere.My “Amex Black” entitles me to everything I’m entitled to. “Free” banking just means someone else is paying for those bonuses: or you’re paying for them on a different transaction.
Hi @TravellingMan2022 . Thanks for starting this thread. I appreciate the warnings and information about ATM fees from you and the other posts. When €7 might get you a night in an albergue or a meal, that is a lot on money to spend on an ATM fee. All incredibly useful as I plan for my September Camino.Hi folks. Old topic I know!

Thank you @Rita Flower . Appreciate you taking the time to post. Yes all saves a bit of time getting up to the moment info. Fees seem to be bouncing around at mo!
