Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the charges for using automated teller machine (ATM), which will be effective from February 1.

A circular of BB issued Tuesday re-fixed the fee at Tk20 per transaction for cash out from ATM booths of banks other than the card issuing bank.

Of the amount, the customer will pay Tk15 when the card issuing bank will pay the rest Tk5.

Currently, a similar transaction costs Tk20, which is shared equally by the bank and customer.

The fee for a mini statement, however, remained unchanged at Tk5. There will be no fee for using the ATM of the card issuing bank.

Some 38 banks are now offering ATM services to the people through the National Payment Switch (NPS).
