CaixaBank and Bankia: how the merger changes ATM, cash and service fees
Customers who held Caixabank or Bankia accounts will likely notice changes in terms, especially around ATM cash withdrawals, account operations, and other procedures. The shift comes from the merger of the two banks and the ongoing integration of their systems, networks, and policies. For readers in Canada and the United States, this example highlights how large bank combinations can affect everyday banking details and fees that may appear in coming months.
A few years back Bankia partnered with other banks such as ING, Banco Sabadell, and the Euro 6000 network. The arrangement allowed customers to withdraw cash without fees at any of those ATMs. When two banks merge, similar fee waivers can end up changing as part of the transition and consolidation of the networks involved.

When a deal with Banco Sabadell and Euro 6000 expired, customers faced the end of specific fee waivers on those banks’ ATMs. ING maintained its contract through a set date, after which traditional withdrawal charges could apply at those networks. This example illustrates how cross‑network agreements impact fees during the transition period.
How much money can be sent with Bizum?
The CaixaBank and Bankia merger concluded last year with a formal registration of the new entity. Since then, the bank has ensured that no immediate changes to customer operations would occur during the platform transition. The lesson for North American readers is that while core services often stay intact during the first phase of a merger, fee structures, ATM access, and processing times can shift as systems converge.
This is the overdraft commission your bank may charge you
Even with shifts in account numbers and product lines, loans and mortgages originated by Bankia have remained consistent in their terms. Overdraft charges and related fees may be influenced by new policies during the integration period, so customers should review their statements closely and contact their bank for any clarification. The takeaway is to stay informed about how the merger affects daily banking costs, especially for those who rely on cash withdrawals or overdraft facilities.
