ATM charges in Austria

allfrey
Posts: 30 Forumite
I always withdraw cash on holiday using a card without a transaction fee. Currently I'm in Austria and all the ATMs seem to charge 3% cash withdrawal fee. I was in Austria last year and there was no charge. Is this happening elsewhere in Europe?

Is it the ATM that's charging it?
Which card are you using?0 -
Are you letting the ATM do the currency conversion rather than putting the transaction through in local currency?Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks

In Germany I've seen written notices next to ATMs detailing charges of that sort for CCs and had the ATM saying I'll be charged by the issuer - but I've never been charged. I think that's just for domestic users.
Or as above it's not DCC is it?
Are they proper bank ATMs you're using? Have you seen the charges on your statement/receipt?0
