By Pablo Diaz · I left BoA after years as a customer. Read the full story →

Bank of America fees in New York City, NY run on a tier system: most fees waive if you keep enough average balance or hit qualifying activity. The trick is knowing which thresholds apply to which product, and which fees the CFPB has flagged in public enforcement. Both below.

Out-of-network ATM fees

Bank of America's out-of-network ATM fee structure: $2.50 per withdrawal at non-BoA ATMs, plus the third-party ATM operator fee (typically $2.50–$5). Total cost per out-of-network withdrawal: $5–$7.50. In New York City, NY, BoA's branch network coverage is generally good in major metros and thinner in secondary areas. If your business needs frequent cash deposits or withdrawals outside BoA's footprint, this fee category compounds.
