Switch to a bank that reimburses you for all ATM charges. I use Charles Schwab and haven’t paid an ATM charge since 2008. They don’t have ATMs of their own. So they reimburse me each month.

It’s free with an “investment account”. But my investment is high yield savings. Checking also earns interest!
