Non-Santander ATM Fees

Fee type Amount

Santander reimbursement of non-network fees None
ATM operator surcharge Set by ATM owner

Unlike Ally ($0 ATM fees), KeyBank (2 refunds/month on Smart Checking), or Schwab (unlimited refunds), Santander does not reimburse non-network ATM fees on any personal checking tier.

How to Find Santander ATMs

Santander has approximately 2,000 ATMs across the Northeast through its own network and partner ATMs. Use the ATM locator at santanderbank.com or in the Santander mobile app. Filter by “Santander ATM” to avoid partner ATMs that may charge a surcharge.

How to Request a Temporary ATM Limit Increase

  1. Call Santander customer service at 1-877-768-2265
  2. Provide your account information and reason for the increase
  3. Specify the date range and amount needed
  4. Temporary increases typically last 1–7 days

For large cash needs, a domestic wire transfer may be more practical than raising the ATM limit.
