GBP Base account but ATM'S say EUR

[capital]

@badskittler

Will try HSBC, Sainsbury, Tesco, Nat West, Lloyd’s, Halifax and Santander all of whom previously offered conversion when I get home.

That’s odd.

I’ve never used some of the other smaller legacy banks (TSB, Co-op, Nationwide.), but both Barclays and Natwest works fine.

It shouldn’t be EUR!

I can see that your base currency is GBP

I wouldn’t trust the ATM!

@badskittler

That works fine but if I live in the UK and my base currency is GBP why the hell do ATM’S think my card is EUR based. There is something wrong with the embedded data on cards being issued in the UK and I go abroad with zero idea of how my card will perform.

I assume it’s due to Wirecard being based out of Germany (Eurozone, EUR.), which is why some legacy banks might confuse Revolut’s new Wirecard-issued cards (As opposed to PaySafe, which is based out of the UK, hence GBP.) as having the Euro as the base currency.
