    Not many fee free ATMs nowadays going by anecdotal reports.
    True that, seem to be using a (say) UK Chase card in a US Chase ATM or a UK Santander in a Spanish Santander etc.
    I believe Unicaja in Spain is still commission free for "user friendly" UK debit cards.
    Santander is - as long as you use a Santander UK card at a fully branded Banco Santander ATM located at a branch - not standalone machines.
    The Santander deal also works in several other countries, as listed on their UK website.
