More ATMs for membersYou’ve told us you want more ATM access – you’ve got it! We’re pleased to announce the extension of our ATM network. Now you can use your Hunter United card at all St George ATMs as well as all Westpac and Hunter United ATMs without incurring foreign ATM charges. That’s a total of 2,700 ATMs across Australia! With such a large ATM network at your disposal and the choice of EFTPOS withdrawal opportunities, there should be very few occasions when you’ll need to use a foreign ATM to withdraw cash. From the 17 August 2009 should you use a non-Hunter United / Westpac / St George ATM you will incur a processing fee of 25c for each foreign ATM transaction at month’s end.
