Fee to bypass withdrawal limits

It looks like there are withdrawal limits due to the fact that they cost cash to :mondo: so it’s understandable that they don’t want to operate at a high loss - however in the unlucky event that you reach that limit, wouldn’t it be better if you were able to still withdraw and pay the ATM fee rather than being stuck without cash?
