[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From ATM after arrival. At airport if ATM doesn't charge a fee. If it does, use ATM at a bank in the city, they normally don't charge additional fees in Europe (although you may pay a fee from your bank).[/quote] Make sure you reject conversion, and take the local currency. Otherwise the bank will charge you 10% extra to convert your withdraw to USD.[/quote] Yes always run the transaction in local currency. But the DC bullshit conversion fee isn't quite 10% it's more like 4-5%. Still an awful scam.[/quote] The 10% extra is just the local bank's bad exchange rate, not including any fee. I noticed that the exchange rate was too high when we took cash out, and learned that we need to reject the conversion. The ATM even gives you the option, but a lot of people don't realize it till they get burned.[/quote]
