Thankfully though a lot of times these ATMs and such are avoided by American tourists because....we just use a credit card.
By the way, those fees are split with other folks. For example you might find that American Euronext ATM in a shopping plaza or outside of a storefront. Those European businesses are getting a cut of that exchange rate.
- Hikikomori 9mo agoLike we dont have credit/debit cards in Europe? I haven't had to use cash for 15-20 years or so, but also don't have a credit card. Doesn't really help if they only take cash, which is still common in Germany for example, but gotten a lot better in the last decade. Ok so the scam is shared, great.

- Hikikomori 9mo ago>because....we just use a credit card. Implying we could or would not.
- ericmay 9mo ago> There's also ATMs from Euronet that are conveniently placed in tourist areas I wasn't implying that Europeans can't use credit cards. We were talking about tourists using credit cards versus cash.
