Citibank USD ATM in London

Hello!
Does anyone know whether the Citibank USD Cash Machine at Canary Wharf is DCC or not? I have tried searching online and cannot find the information.
What I want to know is, if I draw out $100, will Citi take $100 from me in currency the conversion be handled by my bank at its own exchange rate, or will Citi do the conversion and charge me the sterling equivalent at Citi's exchange rate?
If nobody knows I can go down and take a look, but was hoping to avoid the journey if anyone happens to know
Cheers!

My guess is Citi won't want to miss out, so will charge its own rate.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0

I did have a look at this ATM a while back. It had a sign containing a rather complex explanation of the currency conversion process, which varied depending on whether it's used with a Citi card or not. I don't remember the details, but if it's not a Citi account you're withdrawing from, I'm pretty sure the ATM will use DCC to apply its own exchange rate and charge the card in Sterling.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon

Thanks for your responses. I'll use travelmoneymax and a central London bureau. At least that way I'll guarantee a rate. Cheers!#145 Save £12k in 2016 Challenge: £12,062.62/£12,000.00 Beginning Balance: £5,027.78 CHALLENGE MET
