Except some foreign ATMs (e.g. Hungary) don't even show that dialog. They just charge you the currency conversion.

- masklinn 14y agoThat is nasty as hell, and I'm surprised it's even legal: the expected default would be to charge in the local currency and let the card issuer handle the conversion.
- travisp 14y agoConversion without asking is actually against credit card merchant agreements (and I assume the debit card agreements too, although I actually can't find this anywhere). I wouldn't be surprised if you could complain to your bank if what was reported here was actually true.
