Overseas fees and charges.
Jetting off overseas? Here’s everything you need to know about the fees and charges for using any ME debit or credit card outside Australia.
Things to keep in mind:
ATM fees.
Any time you use an ATM overseas, you might get hit with a usage fee. These are charged by the ATM owner and are out of our hands, but you’ll usually get a warning that you’re going to be charged.
Checking balances.
ME doesn’t charge a fee to check your balance at any ATM – but keep in mind there may be a fee charged by the ATM operator.
