  • Charges

    ATM commission fee consists of two separate fees:

    (1) Service fee charged by the issuer: please consult your issuer for details.

    (2) Service fee charged by the ATM acquirer in BiH: some ATMs will charge commission fee, which is charged by the local banks in BiH and which has nothing to do with UnionPay or the issuer.
