Banks that don't charge foreign transaction fees on ATM withdrawal

There may not be a foreign transaction fee, but you still have to pay a local processing fee assessed by the Scotia, correct? I think B of A used to refund this charge, but that is no longer the case.

My local bank (Conestoga Bank in PA) doesn't charge a foreign trans fee, but I still have to pay a charge assessed by the machine. I think it was up to $5 the last time I used a ScotiaBank ATM in November.

Sadly this is no longer the case. I was hit for almost $8 each time I pulled out 30,000 JMD two weeks ago.

Scotia is still in BofA's Global Alliance. BofA waives the $5 flat usage fee for using a non-BofA ATM (Scotia ATM) but still assesses an international transaction fee (3%). They've done this for several years now. You may be able to get international transaction fees refunded if you have enough assets with BofA to qualify for their Platinum Privileges program.
