Scotia is the only bank that charges a fee to use their ATMs. NCB terminals (next to ValueMaster, HiLo and other locations) and Sagicor (next to the Cambio, right side of same small building) do not charge fee to use them.

OK, so then you should check whether they have a hidden fee by offering a lower conversion rate on the currency exchange (same thing the cambios do). Somehow, the cost of buying and operating the ATM is being recovered!
Atms we used (that worked) showed $545 JA per transaction then if your bank at home charges a fee you must add that in. $30,000 JA was the largest amount we were able to get. Withdrawing smaller amounts and adding in the fees starts making it less important to use JA over US currency.

Fees may apply. But not at Scotia ATMs.
The $30,000 J maximum withdrawal at ScotiaBank ATM's is frustrating, because they do charge a high service fee of about $545 J. So if you need to withdraw two or three times, you do pay a substantial amount in fees.
My question, can anyone say with high confidence that other branded ATM's in Negril allow higher withdrawal limits and/or lower withdrawal fees?
(By branded ATM I mean a machine that is backed by a financial institution, and not the generic type of machine you might find in a bar; which I absolutely avoid using anywhere in the world).
NCB doesn't charge a fee, but Scotia does. Last winter it was a bear to get 30,000 out of the machine.
We're all in this together and none of us is getting out alive.
