Bank of America out-of-network ATM fees for Queens businesses

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

Most NY business owners I talk to do not know the full BoA fee structure until they have already paid it. The schedule below is from BoA's own published fee disclosures, plus the public CFPB record on practices that have been the subject of enforcement.

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 Queens, 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.

Queens context

Local context for Queens: most software-driven business banks (Mercury, RHO, Novo, Relay) charge $0 standard monthly fee. BoA's $16/mo Business Advantage Fundamentals is the structure most Queens customers compare against.

Public regulator record on BoA fees

• CFPB 2023 enforcement order — $250M total — junk fees, double-charged overdraft fees, withheld credit-card rewards, fake accounts.
• CFPB Consumer Complaint Database — Bank of America — public, searchable, tens of thousands of complaints (a large share fee-related).
• BoA business checking fee disclosure — source-of-truth for current published rates. Verify before acting.

If you want to dispute a BoA fee in Queens

1. Pull the statement showing the fee. Screenshot it.
2. Compare against BoA's published fee schedule. If it does not match, document the discrepancy.
3. Request a written explanation through BoA secure message. Save the response.
4. If the explanation is unsatisfactory, file a CFPB complaint at consumerfinance.gov/complaint with the documentation. Free, public, and tends to get a documented response.
5. For overdraft-fee disputes specifically: reference the CFPB 2023 order in your complaint if your situation matches the practices it cited.
