Simple's FAQ says no fees:
Although you may be referring to third-party ATM fees. I'm curious which banks still reimburse for third-party ATM fees. Can you share the name of your bank?

Anecdote: I have been with Schwab for years and love their offering. One weekend in Vegas I accumulated something like $150 in ATM fees and they refunded every penny of it. Like Alex said, this was only possible through previous trade commissions/fees they've generated from me.
And yeah, you have to open a brokerage account but you can leave it with $0 and no positions forever. That said, Schwab has some pretty killer deals on ETFs on the brokerage side..
Fidelity also has a similar account although it is a joint checking/brokerage account and the interface is tailored towards the brokerage side.
Glad to see more competition in this space. Give me something even better than Schwab :)
Also no foreign transaction fees (very nice for a traveller).
