According to current guidance on the application of the Euro Payments Regulation, the charge levied on customers for cash withdrawals in euros made in another EU country must be the same as that levied on customers when using Automatia Pankkiautomaatit Oy’s ATMs (Otto. network). In connection with the issuing of guidance on the application of the Euro Payments Regulation, the FIN-FSA recommended that the service charge levied on customers for cash withdrawals made in Finland using ATMs maintained by other operators should be no more than the service charge levied when using Otto. network ATMs.
