According to statistics the average ATM fee was $2.22 per transaction in 2009. That means if you make complete one ATM transaction a week at a machine that charges you a fee, you're spending $115.44 a year on this one fee alone. Thankfully there are some iPhone apps that will help you locate specific ATMs so you can avoid the ones that tack on hefty fees. Here are some useful iPhone apps that will help users stop wasting money on ATM fees.

ATM Now: The ATM Now iPhone app is free. It locates various ATMs including those for Wells Fargo, Chase and Washington Mutual. It's compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad.

ATM Locator Canada: Find thousands of ATM locations for every major bank in Canada with the ATM Locator Canada app. This app costs $1.99 but will likely save you much more in ATM fees. The description says more ATM locations are being added daily.

ATM Hunter: The ATM Hunter is an app released by MasterCard. It's free and helps you locate the nearest ATM for the task you want to complete such as deposits or withdrawals. It's fast to use because you don't have to tell the app where you are currently located-- it already knows.
