    The way to tell would be to check the rate to switch the other way.
    OK, what does that make it then?

    Im confused by the post and all the comments (nothings the wrong way around)  🤔

    OP - Your picture shows €100 will cost you £124.93   (so for each £1 you receive €0.80)
    I have a tendency to mute most posts so if your expecting me to respond you might be waiting along time!

    Haha, I doubt they are still there over two hours later and I was being sarcastic, if the rates were transposed then the answer is already on the screen!

    1 GBP = 1.2493 Euro

    Which means that as the current rate for the GBP is 1.1452 Euro then it is not as simple case of incorrect input.

    It's just scalping by the ATM provider.
