ATM Exchange Rate

What is or was the latest exchange rate you got on the Euro from an ATM recently?

The rate is 1.20 as of today, but that might vary slightly from ATM to ATM.

That's assuming you are referring to US Dollars and Euros.

Obviously, the exchange rates change daily. What you probably mean to ask is what conversion rate - extra percent added to the day's average exchange rate - will your bank/the other bank charge you? Last month, my credit union charged me 1% per transaction (for Euros and all other currency) but no ATM fees (from them or from the ATM owners in Europe). Check with your bank/credit union before leaving.

Last week of Sept I got $1.22 and $1.21 in Paris with my ATM (no additional charges per transaction).

Sometimes the conversion fee is buried in the quoted exchange rate. If you see a rate of 1.21 for the transaction in your bank statement, the real exchange rate that day may have been 1.20. Call your bank and ask.

Net cost for 100 Euro = $121.27 last week at Deutsche Bank with my BofA ATM. No additional fee.

When I contacted my bank, they said there is an extra fee if I use an ATM (due to maintenance), but no extra fee if I go to a bank to withdraw.
