So ... the CBA has decided not to charge for non-CBA ATM withdrawals.

But BWA (owned by CBA) has not.

To quote today's Guardian:

"The no ATM withdrawal fee access applies to the 3,400 CommBank-branded ATMs but excludes Bankwest ATMs and customers using overseas cards."

Please explain.

Hi @BAWAna, you can read our news on this here.

Well ... as a BWA customer, which non-BWA ATMs can I use (without fees)?

[#4 · Accepted solution]

Bankwest customers have access to all Bankwest and Commonwealth Bank ATM's free of charge @BAWAna, however if you have an Easy Transaction account, Bankwest will meet the cost of the fee at ATMs operated by Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ), National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) and Westpac Banking Corporation (WBC) ONLY. Direct Charges levied at other non-Bankwest-branded ATMs will not be met by Bankwest and will be debited to the account. 　

Recently a number of Australian Banks have made announcements that they will no longer be charging non customers to use their ATM's. As these fees are charged by the Banks themselves, you'd need to check with them to see if they charge non customers for use of their ATM's. Thanks!
