[SOLVED] Moneycorp ATM withdrawal at Stansted airport

Iā€™d really love to have an explanation for the exchange rate though.

The receipt shows a GBP/EUR rate of 0.8957 (when the interbank rate was actually 1.14726 at the time of the transaction) which would make the euro a stronger currency than sterling - they might already be in anticipation of the UK leaving the EU :wink:

EUR 200 would have been at that point GBP 174. With an unfavourable exchange rate maybe 180. 190 tops. Never 223 though.

The only remote (non-defrauding) explanation I could have is a technical glitch and they swapped exchange rates as the EUR/GBP exchange rate actually was 0.87164 and by that quite close to what they printed - GBP 200 were in fact EUR 229.
