What are the Fees in UGLYCASH?

You'd like to know the fees for everything you do with us. And here they are — clear as water and very Ugly (beautiful in our own way).

Updated this week

🏧 Withdrawing cash from an ATM using your Ugly Visa card.

*These ATM fees and reimbursement rules will start being implemented on February 9. Until that date, the current ATM withdrawal fee remains USD $1 + 1.5% per transaction.

When withdrawing cash from an ATM, two types of fees may apply:


1. UGLYCASH withdrawal fee
This fee depends on the country where the ATM is located:

El Salvador & Ecuador

USD $2.50 + 2%

Mexico

USD $2.50 + 1.35%

Argentina & Bolivia

USD $2.50 + 1%

Rest of the world

USD $2.50 + 1%

2. ATM access fee

Some ATMs charge an additional access or convenience fee. This fee is set by the ATM operator, not by UGLYCASH, and it adds an extra cost to your withdrawal.

Even though this fee is outside our control, we try to help offset part of that cost through a partial reimbursement incentive.

How it works

  • The reimbursement only applies if the ATM actually charged an access or convenience fee.

  • We can confirm this after the withdrawal is completed in UGLYCASH (not while it is “Pending” or “Processing”).

  • Reimbursements are not instant and are processed weekly.

If applicable, every Friday you may receive:

USD $0.75 + 0.25% of the fees, credited automatically in RSR.

If the ATM did not charge an access or convenience fee, no reimbursement applies.
