Using in Croatia

[Ligeard]

surprising nowadays, and really not practical

[Croato]

Agreed, and I hope cards become accepted everywhere in Croatia. But it’s not a given. See Berlin for example. Capital of an advanced country, with low card acceptance.

Thanks for the explanation. I see potential here for Revolut so merchants could accept the card and if they have WiFi payment could be instantaneous. An " " in the window!

Hi all.

I just tried my new Revolute free card on bunch of ATMs and PBZ wanted to charge 16kn withrowal fee.
ZABA, HPB and Reiffeisen didn’t charge withrowal fee!
If someone could test OTP bank and whatever ATMs are missing would be great.

I have just recently used my Revolut card (MasterCard) in Croatia.
It works very well in restaurants, in supermarkets and on highways. But if using on highway toll gate with selfpaying (e.g. at Zagreb when you are driving from the Adriatic) you have to be aware of enabling the option of using the magnetic stripe.
I used my card also for cash withdrawal there was no extra fee (OTP banka ATM).

So I am very satisfied with Revolut!!

Auro Domus ATMs which are also freqent like Euronet also tries to charge if you withdraw cash with Revolut MC. In Malinska Krk Island at the market there is just next to it a HPB(Croatian Post Bank) ATM wirh 0 fee!!

Euronet won’t charge you if you use a Visa card

I can confirm that there was no charge when I used a Euronet ATM in Dubrovnik in June 2019, also Revolut Visa.

this post reports that it changed around the end of August:

The ultimative free ATM withdrawal list for travelling (by country)

Update: Euronet ATMs in Croatia started to charge a fee about 30 HRK for Visa cards as well (not only Revolut Visa cards). If you want withdraw cash at POS terminals like Tisak, Konzum and Hrvatska pošta, you can do it over Curve MasterCard when Revolut is underlying. You just have to wait some time untill you build good spending history on Curve account and then cash advance option will be enabled. PBZ ATMs in Croatia started to charge a fee for some foreign cards (Revolut Visa and MasterCard…

@Croato

and even less by restaurants, bars and night clubs

This is not 100% correct. Almost all restaurants accept credit cards, but bars and night clubs not.
Just look for the accepted card types at the entrance of the restaurant. Visa, MasterCard and Diners are widely accepted, but Amex little bit less than them (they charge higher provisions for transaction to restaurant owners).

Auro Domus won’t charge you if you decline DCC (Visa/MC).
Tested in August 2019, Vodice, Croatia.

Hi, I couldn’t have found how to add new post so I must do it this way. Just wanted to ask if anyone has some tips how to withdraw euros in Croatia through ATM? I’m near Trogir, so some exact location would be perfect.

Thanks for any reply or recommendation.

Try Split airport, may be possible and up the road.

I wouldn’t recommend you to withdraw EUR when you’re out of Euro zone. Eg Euronet ATMs are offering EUR with their rubbish exchange ratio (at least in places in which I have tried)

Dont use “Euronets” ATM’s…they are stealing your money…just use atm’s from some regular banks…
