What is Free ATM withdrawals?

In short

A free ATM allowance is how many cash withdrawals a month a bank lets you take before charging you.

A free ATM allowance is the monthly count of cash withdrawals a bank charges nothing for, and it matters if you take money out often because withdrawals beyond the allowance usually carry a fee. The counts here differ sharply: Altyn-i offers KZT 1,000,000 a month, Alpha Bank offers €1 and Ally Bank offers $10. Albert and ANNA Money have no free ATM withdrawals, with allowances of $0 and £0, so weigh those carefully before you rely on a cash machine abroad.
