I also ask the debit card company if they have a maximum withdrawal amount. Sometimes you think your card is not working at the ATM machine, but it is actually that you are attempting to withdraw more foreign currency than the card allows daily.

always choose to convert the money into the country’s currency you are in https://www.theguardian.com/money/2008/jul/12/foreigncurrency.consumeraffairs

Telecentro is one of the best in barcelona I hear==no commission fees==

after much research=atms are the best or that currency company if they follow their policy

always do the math on your own calculator (smartphones always have them) as they can rig their calculators in the exchange place and charge hidden fees

I am looking for the same answers you did years ago. I am going to Hungary and Czech republic. My card is Santander. Did you have any trouble? You found the ATMs?

I would thank you very much if you answered!
Marco

They will not deal with you unless you have a PIN- that is unless it is a branch of your home bank. You can’t do debit or cash advance without a PIN.

I have a functional debit card but my pin hasn’t arrived yet. My bank said I could get a cash advance inside a bank without needing a pin. I have never done this before and was curious how this worked.
