ATM fees set a new record high for the 10th year in a row, with the total cost of using an out-of-network ATM withdrawal rising to $4.57, according to Bankrate.com's 19th annual checking survey.

Consumers typically must deal with two different fees when using an out-of-network ATM: The surcharge assessed by the ATM owner on a non-customer and the fee charged by the accountholder's own financial institution for using another credit union or bank's ATM.

This year, the average ATM surcharge hit a new record, rising to $2.90 from $2.88 last year. The average fee charged by a consumer's own financial institution for going outside the ATM network increased 1.8% to $1.67.
