Have 'other banks' ATMs started charging a fee?

I don’t mind admitting that I’m a dinosaur when it comes to things like this - I wouldn’t have a clue on how to pay for something using a QR code (and am happy to stay that way thanks).

I was initially very reluctant to join this method. However my daughter persuaded me after a couple of occasions where I didn't have enough cash on me so she paid by QR.
Once BKK bank installed all the necessary, I found it so easy. No more difficult than using an ATM, and no card to compromise.

I use the TrueMoney Wallet at 7Eleven and Lotus’s. It’s a bit of a hassle to set up but tends to be faster than scanning QR codes. TrueMoney Wallet is accepted at many places these days.

It does appear there are more 'cons' than 'pros' for True's Wallet, mainly on setup.

Just an example from many:
Jumping through endless loop of frustration... to get registered as a foreigner on this app. After getting though the Passport scan, which took seemingly 1000 takes because of the security decal reflections, then the correct mobile camera shot, I get my registration process aborted because I do not fit their silly & intrusive occupational profile survey. I am a retired person, but because I am not retired from GOVERNMENT, as a foreigner, I am not worthy of a TRUEMONEY WALLET registration!

My experience was nowhere near that bad. I would have given up.

Oh, wait, I think that was me.

Got hit with a K-bank ATM fee yesterday when drawing cash out in Chumphon province so yes, they're still doing it.
