Eurozone since 2023. FX on a euro card is usually zero. Some island ATMs still add an operator fee; refuse DCC.

Example: if €1 buys 38 THB, enter 38. Copy this from a rate site or your banking app.
Use the fees from your own card contract. A 0% travel card still needs a mid-market rate. This is not a ranking of banks or apps.

Assumptions and sources

You enter the mid-market rate. TripUtils does not fetch rates. DCC is not modelled — decline conversion at the terminal.

These are planning ranges, not live prices.

Common questions

Should I accept a charge in my home currency?

If the terminal already prices the sale locally, pay locally. A conversion offer is Dynamic Currency Conversion.

Which ATM is cheapest?

TripUtils does not rank ATM networks. Read the fee on the screen, then type that number in.
