Withdrawing Cash in Canada

[SydneySwan]

Are there any fee-free ATMs in Canada? Mrs SS is visiting Toronto and will be withdrawing cash with Macquarie card. All advice welcome.

Canada should be pretty cashless but we did hunt down cash last visit - can’t remember exactly why, maybe some pubs/bars were still cash only (or charging surcharges).

I can’t answer for Toronto, but pretty sure we used Vancity ATM in Vancouver.

Montreal was impossible (from memory) but pretty sure we mostly used card anyway.

And for encouraging tips!

Looking at the ATM Saver app it appears Scotiabank may be an option-. Shows as 0 or $3 or also possibly Vancity

The app is very unreliable. Scotiabank was at least $3 across the country.

As above, Vancity was working last time I was there (except Quebec - where we couldn’t find one).
