Europe UK » ATM fees in France for UK account holders

Pleased about that. I bank with CA and wonder why they haven't done this sooner. It must cost them money to process any withdrawal in a foreign currency. I believe that they cannot charge that fee to another EU country, but you lot voted to leave.

ATMs in France: Make sure you read the screen before completing the withdrawal. One French bank, Credit Agricole, will now charge 5 euros per withdrawal. Expect more to follow. https://www.thenationalnews.com/business...KgYNdQNKMfkdp3k

In the USA, that's very common. Some ATMs are free if they belong to your bank or a given network to which your bank belongs. Always pay attention to what's on the screen.

Sometimes, you only see the fee from the bank that owns the ATM. Whatever your own bank charges for using a non-system ATM can be just as bad...

Thanks for that Wessie.

It's now very simple for UKers to get a bank account in euros for trips to the continent; top it up from a linked Stirling account and there's no point of sale commission or fee.

Today's rate (just done a transfer) is 1.2009 there's some fees, 100 £ transfer netted 119.61

I just ordered a Currensea card, no fees involved and it’s a debit card that works in many currencies and the transaction is at 0.5% above interbank rates. I think there’s an ATM withdrawal limit of £500 equivalent at the 0.5% rate and that goes to 1% above that. I’m not saying that this is better than some of the credit card deals but a second card ( held separately) helps to spread risk.
