Does Walgreens ATM Charge a Fee?

Walgreens store

Short answer: ATMs inside Walgreens are often surcharge-free when they’re on the Allpoint® network and you use a card from a participating bank or prepaid program. If your card isn’t part of Allpoint (or that specific machine isn’t Allpoint), you may pay an operator surcharge and possibly a fee from your own bank.

When Walgreens ATMs Are Free

  • Your debit or prepaid card participates in Allpoint (check your bank’s ATM locator or card benefits).
  • The ATM at that Walgreens location is clearly labeled with the Allpoint logo on the screen or machine.
  • Your bank or card issuer doesn’t add its own out-of-network fee for Allpoint (most don’t, but policies vary).

When You Might Pay a Fee

  • The Walgreens ATM isn’t on Allpoint, or your card doesn’t include Allpoint access.
  • Your bank charges an out-of-network fee (separate from any ATM operator surcharge).
  • You’re withdrawing internationally or outside your bank’s surcharge-free footprint.

How to Make Your Walgreens ATM Withdrawal Fee-Free

  1. Check your bank’s app/website to confirm your card includes Allpoint access.
  2. Use the bank’s ATM locator to find a surcharge-free Walgreens location, and verify the machine shows the Allpoint logo.
  3. At the store, confirm the on-screen or physical Allpoint branding before inserting your card.

Walgreens ATM Withdrawal Limits

Withdrawal limits are set by your bank/card issuer and sometimes by the ATM operator. Common ranges are $200–$1,000 per day, with per-transaction caps (often $200–$400). Most machines dispense in $20 increments. If you need more than a single-transaction cap, you can do multiple withdrawals until you hit your daily limit.


Cash Back at Walgreens (Alternative to the ATM)

At checkout, many Walgreens stores allow debit cash-back (amounts vary by store and network, commonly $20–$40). It’s a simple way to avoid ATM fees if you’re already making a purchase.

ATM Safety Tips

  • Cover the keypad, and don’t let anyone “assist” you at the machine.
  • Inspect the card slot and keypad for loose or unusual parts before inserting your card.
  • If the ATM looks tampered with or out of order, don’t use it—notify store staff.
