ATM’s (Bancomats) in Trastevere

I see this one, it is sketchy? And this one?

as I know I will get ripped by the fees

Unicredit Bank has 2 Bancomats at FCO and they won't charge you more (or less) because you are at the airport. Same for the Postamat, the counter at FCO is not different from the other Postamats all around Rome. Avoid those called ATM, quite obviously they don't use the Italian name because they make money with conversion fees.

There is a Bank inside Terminal 1.

I do not know how many euros you want to get. However, we always travel with some euros which we purchase before we leave. The small potential premium we might pay is minimal in the overall cost of the trip.

We never wished to be looking for an ATM when we arrived.

Thanks for all the help!

Deutsche Bank wasn't charging fees as of March. There are quite a branches in Rome, though none in Trastevere.

Unicredit would have charged a fee if I hadn't canceled the transaction and walked away.

If they are sketchy I’m in trouble. They are the 3 largest banks in Italy and I bank with all of them.

They don’t charge you a fee, but your US bank probably will. Chase charges me $5 for every withdrawal from an overseas ATM.

The Unicredit ATM I tried to use in Rome last month was going to charge me a 5-euro fee for a fairly small withdrawal (possibly just 40 euros). It was right on the screen. I don't remember which branch it was.

Debit card or credit card? Unicredit Bank is notorious for charging non customers using credit cards absurd fees.

I am really wondering 2 things, now:

• how a sketchy ATM actually looks
• why anyone but 007 would have 3 accounts in 3 different banks.

Only two now. Intesa and UniCredit. Plus several in the US. I need multiple accounts for my “sketchy” activities.

I used the first one on Roberto's list, last month

It's not sketchy at all. It's a full bank, with the bancomat machines inside the first door, I'm pretty sure I had to scan my card to get in. It did charge 3euro which I mistakenly thought my capital one account would reimburse but they didn't. That was the only charge though and I took out 210 euro so my effective exchange rate was less than 2 cents higher than the going interbank exchange rate. There were several other banks along that main street, I just picked this one because it was so close to where we were staying.

I was using the same debit/ATM card I've been using in Europe since 2015; it's from my credit union. I've made sure the PINs for my signature-priority credit cards (which I hope never to have to use in an ATM) are completely different from my ATM PIN so I can't carelessly stick a credit card in an ATM and end up taking a cash advance.

I have no reason to think Unicredit's ATM-fee policy varies from machine to machine, but I suppose it's possible. In 2019 a bank ATM at Atocha Station in Madrid tried to charge me a fee, but a machine some blocks away at a branch belonging to the same bank did not; that was a shock.
