    And how would this be achieved? With a sign (in Vietnamese) staying that for some cards, fees may be charged? Many of these sites run machines with a Windows XP front end that at best will read the card strip and offer to switch to the card’s local language, but that’s about it - it then goes to the ‘enter PIN’ verification. It would be nice to be told if a charge is made, but since it is standard to pay for non-Home-bank withdrawal transactions, why the surprise? My RBS account charges me 35p ‘Automated Withdrawal Fee’ for each debit card transaction - nothing is shown on the machine as some user don’t Get charged it.

    The machine will know if it is applying a local charge so it can display this at the point of confirmation. Your 35p fee is nothing to do with it - that's applied by your bank.

    So far, in all my travels, .. I have NEVER encountered an ATM that applies a charge that isn't displayed (or otherwise made clear).
