Harris waives ATM surcharge fee for FEMA debit card users

CHICAGO, Sept. 8, 2005 - Harris today announced it will waive the surcharge fee at its more than 500 Harris-branded ATM machines for Hurricane Katrina survivors who were issued a debit card by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Harris will ensure those using the FEMA-issued card at Harris-branded ATMs will not be assessed the $2 surcharge.

The fee will be waived at Harris-owned ATM machines throughout its branch locations in Chicago, Florida and Arizona, and in domestic terminals at O'Hare International Airport and Chicago Midway Airport as of 8:30 a.m. CDT on Friday, Sept. 9, 2005. The waiver will be in effect at more than 160 Harris-branded ATMs at Speedway service stations in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana as of Monday, Sept. 12, 2005, through a partnership with Harris and EFMARK Premium Armored, which provides Harris ATM services at these locations.

"We firmly believe that the funds available on the debit card should go to helping our fellow Americans get back on their feet following this horrible disaster," said Frank Techar, Harris bank President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased to be able to provide this small measure in addition to the more than $370,000 we have committed with our parent company, BMO Financial Group, to relief efforts."
