I know Regions is not double charging me, what I am complaining about is how much they charge to use another atm machine then having to pay such a high fee to use other machines. If I want to get 10 dollars it ends up costing me about 14.50 total. I don't always like to use my card for transactions under 10 dollars. Then are also times that I might need a few dollars on me for whatever and if I am not around a Regions bank atm then I have to pay to much just to use my own money. If they do not have atm machines anywhere than at one of there branches then they should not charge this extra fee. I know other banks have free standing atm machines around town but so far I have not seen a Regions one.

That's two separate charges from two separate entities. Regions will charge you a fee for using an outside ATM and the owner of the ATM charges you a fee as well. Some banks offer perks - US Bank waives the fee for the first few transactions at an outside ATM and I know of one credit union that refunds up to 10 fees per month.
It doesn't have to be an "all or nothing" scenario. You can simply use your check card at places that accept Visa or Mastercard or you can just do your spending on a credit card.
