I was in Spain for the last one week. I tried using different ATM’s and I was very confused because as I remember ATM’s in revolut should be free. Most of the ATM’s in Spain add some fee to withdraw transaction for example 5 Euro. I tried finding free atm’s, but I think it was impossible. I’ve checked bbv santander caixa bank and all add some fee to withdraw. Please be careful
Unfortunately this is a know “scam” in several EUR south/west countries…
The ATM detects that your card is in GBP ( UK issued card ) and it proposes 2 solutions :
- Bill GBP from your account with their “preferential” ( = shitty ) FX rate.
- If you refuse, the ATM will bill EUR from your account, but it will charge a fixed fees, ie 5€
I know this- I have experienced it on my own and have described it on this forum (with pictures).
Unfortunately this fee will be counted in both cases (DCC on and off)
In Poland it is 13 PLN.
Fortunately it works like this only in case of MasterCard
Hello I am new in here, sorry if it is not the right chat.
I tried to withdraw money from several ATMs in Spain as ‘squrvik’ and the minimum commission that they force me to pay is 2€ in bank ‘la caixa’. I would like to know if there would be any other possibility to get cash without paying so much commission? Thank you very much!
