ING is NUKING their ATM operator fee rebates on international withdrawals from 1 August 2023. (An Operator Fee is charged by an ATM operator for transaction and enquires made at their ATMs.) As such, can no longer be used to withdraw cash with no operator fee to do things overseas such as buy dishwashers or look at monkey attractions.

Credit to user 'chiwi' who brought this up here and "currentfad" for finding the ToS. Ozbargain now announces this news before ING even announce this date to their own customer service reps or their own customers lol:

        Yeah. It depends on the country too, but it's useful enough for the situation with my upcoming travels.

        ING was useful because it served both functions as a card that can used for transactions as well as withdrawals but I guess all good things come to an end.

        • spiinl on 17/04/2023 - 17:24

          Yes ING served me well before introducing all these hurdles.

          What is the next best thing? UBank? Macquarie? Citibank is a risk of being another blood sucker.

          • dazweeja on 17/04/2023 - 22:04

            @spiinl: I use ubank as my daily account because you can set up direct debit and also pay anyone directly from the savings account without having to move money to the transaction account.

              @dazweeja: I think that auto sweep functionality breaks with the latest ubank migration/enhancement/update :)

              I use ubank as my daily for bills but with the whole bsb/acct number change with the migration I've changed everything to Macquarie and may not change it back. HSBC I use for daily paywave spend for the domestic 2% CB and just bounce $2k in an out of my ubank which keeps the ubank and HSBC minimum monthly deposit requirements satisfied.

              At least macquarie you get a highish rate of interest with no faffing about :)

                @bdl:

                I think that auto sweep functionality breaks with the latest ubank migration/enhancement/update

                Yes, there's no auto-sweep but you don't need it most of the time because with the new ubank, you can just use the acct number of your savings account instead of the transaction account for direct debit and pay anyone. I only use the transaction account for purchases. All other direct debit/pay anyone/etc, I just do directly from the savings account without having to shuffle the funds to the transaction account so it's always earning interest.

        It's not clear if it's still free to withdraw money from a Citibank Plus account at Citibank ATMs overseas.

        National Australia Bank Limited does not charge Citibank Plus Transaction account holders a fee when they withdraw funds from an international ATM or use their Citi Debit Card to make in-store purchases overseas. Customers may be charged by the third-party provider, which National Australia Bank Limited does not control.

        • Yola on 24/05/2023 - 17:14

          In the past, if you used the card at a bank there were no fees from the ATM owner and none from Citi. Of course that is not as good as ING, as from 1 August when you are in a strange city wandering around trying to find a bank.

    It's made the most pain in the arse account worse. If they at least removed the have to increase balance, i'd take it but I reckon they will try to just advertise some useless feature like round-up.

    I just hate all the hoops and caveats they have like:
    -5 transactions required per month (on a no points card).
    -$1000 from external source
    -Have to increase saving amount each month (They don't include the credit interest separate from it)
    -And interest only upto $100k, whereas Ubank is $250k.

    • rhino015 on 15/05/2023 - 17:14

      I think the idea is to encourage you to use it as your primary bank. If it's your primary bank, you pay goes in, and you pay for groceries and other things at least 5 times a month.

      If you're actively trying to save then the savings one is easy. If not then you can add a scheduled 1c transfer.

      The 100k limit might be a hassle if you have that much in savings and don't have a mortgage. If you have a mortgage then you should definitely have it in the offset account. If I had over 100k I'd probably just move some of the money to my Macquarie secondary account for savings in there. Macquarie has lower savings but is actually more ideal for a secondary account because of the lack of these hoops. But lower interest on the savings. Over all it's a good primary bank account still, and macquarie is a better secondary account because you can stand up other savings accounts with lower but still good interest rates.

      I'm curious what your approach is and which combination of banks you think would be ideal?

    For those saying it should be negged to punish the bank, upvoting is what actually damages the bank more. Yes it's a PSA and it isn't a deal, but negging this helps the bank as it takes it off the front page.

    I do agree with the suggestion of a PSA prefix so those of us who don't want to see these can skip it.

    Some people seem frustrated by this post, but it's been helpful to many, especially people who need to get a citibank card before they close applications in a months time.

        You have to deposit 2000 every month and the ATM free fee is only on HSBC ATMs worldwide.

        The Cashback is only applicable on Australian purchases (merchant and AUD).

        UP bank charges no ATM fees in australia and overseas unless the ATM charges it and there aren't any conditions on it. Considering it's also a free account, not sure why this isn't the default travelling card for everyone.

        • Tuttorix on 18/04/2023 - 01:31

          Citibank is the default. UP is kind of useless in every other respect and even for travel, there’s already heaps of options. Macquarie is a better bank overall and offers the same benefits as UP.

          • wangasm on 18/04/2023 - 11:42

            @Tuttorix: Have you used Up? I've used both and I'm curious why you think it's "useless" for travel. Both Up and Macquarie have no account fees/hoops, both have no international transaction and ATM fees (Both don't rebate), both use the market MC rate, both have excellent market-leading apps (Honourable mention to Citibank having one of the worst apps).

            Some differences I've noticed
            Up has a slightly higher daily ATM withdrawal limit (3k vs 2k). Up has greater granular control over the card/account (Being able to instantly enable/disable international spend/withdrawals from the App). Up has no web interface. There are also more differences not related to travel which makes me prefer Up but I'll leave those out.

    Not really surprised…

    For domestic ATM use:
    - Westpac Group quite possibly has the best cash handling facilities now in terms of locations, as they have just announced ATMx will be made fee-free for customers. This means with a St George, Bank of Melbourne or BankSA debit card you can withdraw cash at Westpac Group, ANZ, NAB, CommBank, Precinct and ATMx-branded ATMs, plus participating post offices. You can also deposit notes at Westpac, St George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA Smart ATMs, plus post offices. Coins can be deposited at the post office and St George, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA coin deposit machines.
    - ATMx also partners with ANZ (including ANZ Plus), Bank of Queensland (including Virgin Money and ME Bank), Suncorp Bank and more.
    - Macquarie and ME Bank both still offer domestic ATM rebates, so you can use any ATM you like.

    For international ATM use:
    - Again, Westpac Group seem to be one of the better options here with their Worldwide Wallet prepaid travel card. You can use it with Global ATM Alliance ATMs with no international transaction fee and no international ATM fee, at those partner ATMs only. Load only with AUD to use cheaper MasterCard exchange rate at the time of the transaction. Debit cards also work, however a 3% international transaction fee applies even at partner ATMs. Other ATMs incur an international ATM fee.
    - HSBC's Everyday Global provides a similar benefit for selected countries' HSBC ATMs. No international transaction or ATM fees.
    - I was able to confirm with ANZ Plus that no international ATM fee or operator fee applies when used at ANZ-branded ATMs internationally, eg. New Zealand. However, a 3% international transaction fee still applies, and this is based off my own chat with a Coach, so YMMV.
    - Otherwise, Bankwest, Up, ubank, Macquarie and plenty of others still offer cards with no international transaction fees and possibly no international ATM fee. However, the operator fee would still apply.

    Hope this helps!

      I definitely would not recommend preloading a

      Westpac Group Worldwide Wallet prepaid travel card

      when there are so many bank account options not requiring preloading.

      Plus, in the event of something going wrong, I suspect you're going to get much worse service compared with a bank account.

      Prepaid cards are often managed on third-party platforms.

      • ezzaf on 18/04/2023 - 10:03

        It looks from the PDS like its provided by Westpac and managed through their app. No third-party platform involved.

        You can also load funds and use them instantly, so you don't need to have the money already sitting on your card.

        Given it allows fee free international ATM withdrawals - basically one bank per country - I'd say its an option that could be useful for some people. Here's the bank list: https://www.westpac.com.au/international-travel/access-money…

        It's going to give you more ATMs to choose from than Citi or HSBC. Or open all three for the greatest selection of free ATMs.

          Here's 17. Some have strings attached.

            @FirstWizard: Almost none of those allow you to use overseas ATMs for free 😁

            No international fees means you won't be charged for transactions made overseas. It does NOT mean you won't be charged for ATM use ! There's only really Citi and HSBC that offer some free overseas ATM use that I know of.

              @Nom: Please carefully check the columns "Overseas ATM Withdrawal Fee" & "Rebate Overseas ATM Operator Fee"

                @FirstWizard: Sorry I must be missing something, the column "Rebate Overseas ATM Operator Fee" only has Citi and HSBC in it 🤷🏼‍♂️ (and ING until it goes)

                Everyone else will incur charges by the ATM operator when overseas 🤷🏼‍♂️

                The only way you're going to get free ATM use is for both those columns to be $0 and YES in that order.

                  @Nom: so there are two things,

                  1) Your bank does not charge any fees to use Overseas ATMs.
                  2) Your bank rebates the "ATM Operator fee" that is charged by the third-party operator.

                  There are many options for 1). If you use any of those cards at an ATM that does not charge an operator fee (most countries have those — there was a spreadsheet somewhere for Revolut cards), you can basically get free withdrawals.

                  For 2), it was only ING. Technically Citi and HSBC do not rebate fees. They just don't charge fees if you use certain ATMs owned by them (in addition to the ATMs that do not charge a fee).

                  So for example, if I use a Macquire Bank card at most ATMs in Switzerland, I get free withdrawals. If I use, say a Westpac card at the same ATM, they'll charge "$5 ATM withdrawal fee, 3% Foreign Transaction Fee"

      Fyi. HSBC Global Currency Account allows free ATM withdrawal on HSBC and Big 4 ATMs but may NOT on Precinct and ATMx (Armaguard ATMs).

      It also allows free international ATM withdrawal subject to certain exceptions mainly certain HSBC jurisdictions like Malta/Argentina. For example, use 7-11 ATMs in Japan for fee free ATM withdrawal.

      And it has 2% Rebate up to $50 a month (Under $100 paypass/paywave)

      From Whirlpool from today:

      So I'm in Amsterdam with a Westpac prepaid Worldwide Wallet card preloaded with Euros.
      But big problem. Several non-bank ATMs I have tried will not recognise my pin. After each try and after double checking my pin, and even changing the pin using my Westpac app, it will not work. This results in several pending holds on my cash and a much diminished available balance.
      The card works ok to pay wirelessly.

      Luckily I have plenty of other ways to pay and get cash.
      Just be aware of problems with the Westpac card.

    This sucks since I moved everything to ING for the international benefits, but I’m guessing you still don’t pay transaction fees for payments directly to businesses with a card? I don’t believe I will need to use cash much in Europe?

      And you gave it an upvote why?

        Because like me I think other people need to see this as well. I get that’s not technically what an upvote is for, but I believe it’s justified in this instance.

    A reprieve is not a deal.
