In Spain (IDK about other European countries), same bank transactions are always free (wether is a SEPA transfer, or a withdrawal on the bank's ATM). These days, transfers to different banks than yours are usually free (and many banks also offer free transfers to other Euro banks, I think it's got to do with SEPA stuff).

However ATM withdrawals on a bank different than yours usually has some kind of fee (depending on the bank, I usually pay between €0,60 to €1,50, for debit withdrawals, credit has bank fees for ATM use and a fee for using credit). Usually if you withdraw €200 or more it's free, but that's entirely dependent on your bank.

In Portugal all withdrawals, in the MULTIBANCO network at least, are free of charge.

That network just so happens to encompass every bank operating in the country.

In my network, the first 3 withdrawal a month at an out-of-network ATMS are free, then it's like 1€ (i'm not sure anymore, i never had to pay this fee in my life)
