A customer is slapped with fees when they use an ATM that's not owned by their bank, and those fees jumped 5% in the past year, according to Bankrate.

Don't use ATMs that are not owned by your bank then, and don't spend money you don't have by going into your overdraft. Pretty much most ATMs in the UK are free anyway, and it's rare that you'll be charged but they state that they charge you before you even put your card in so if I come across one I'll just find another.

Highest charges are for people who withdraw more money than they actually have in their account. You can't even do that with BTC. And paying extra  charges when withdrawing money from a bank which isn't your bank isn't new, you just need to be smart. I'm in Europe right now in a country where I will never withdraw any cash because that would call for a high charge, so I'll just wait till I'm moving away. Banks aren't so bad, but you have to be organized.
This is not what is reflected in ATM fees. You are referring to overall banking costs. The article in the OP is discussing only the direct cost associated with using an ATM. Most of these fees are fees that you will pay for using another bank's ATM. For example if you want to use your ATM card that is issued by bank "A" at bank "B"'s ATM then bank "B" will likely charge a fee because you are using their ATM and needs to take on some level of risk for disbursing cash on another bank's account. Bank "A" will also charge a fee because of the added expense to use the other bank's ATM network.

The best way to avoid fees while using an ATM is to only use the same brand ATM that you have a bank account at (and that issued your ATM/debit card)

The banks seem to be a bigger threat to themselves than bitcoin.

This is true. IMO the majority of the ATM related fees have something to do with accessing money that you do not have. People are stupid and greedy and will agree to pay crazy fees so they can spend money they do not have yet

This is good for bitcoin...

The more banks screw their customers, the more bitcoin has to offer.
