No... just the residual amount left in the account. I posted a query with my bank... hopefully I will hear from them tomorrow. But I do know one thing... when I examine my banking activity online, I do see two separate charges... one for the $5.00, the other for $1.50.

In the US, banks like to charge non-customers a service charge (usually ranging from about $1.50 to $2.00) for usage of an ATM.

I have noticed recently in Thailand, that I am now being assessed a $5.00 charge by the Thai banks, and on top of that, my bank is assessing me an additional $1.50 charge... that's $6.50 for one transaction, no matter how small!

Has anyone else had this experience? I currently bank with Bank of America (BofA), and this past September, when I was in BKK, I did not have the $5.00 fee assessed. Now I am.

I agree that banks should have the right to charge non-customers a service fee, but at $5.00 a pop, I think that is kinda steep.
