The central bank in a circular fixed the fees for per transaction at Taka 10 for using the ATM installed by the same card issuing bank and Taka 20 for using others’ ATM.
The fee will be Taka five for each of the balance inquiry and mini balance statement for all banks.
The new fees will be effective from April 1.
Currently, banks are charging people up to Taka 35 for each transaction at ATMs.
