Using First PREMIER Bankcard at an ATM is a cash advance, not a normal purchase — it costs a fee, starts charging interest the same day (no grace period), and earns no rewards.
| Cash advance fee | Either $8 or 5% of the amount of each cash advance, whichever is greater Inferred by source |
|---|---|
| Cash advance APR | 19.9% to 36.0% variable by card; no grace period Estimated by source |
| Foreign ATM | Cash advance plus the 3% foreign transaction fee — and the ATM operator may add its own surcharge. |
ATM operator surcharges are set by the machine, not the card. To avoid all of this, use a debit card or cash for ATM withdrawals.
