How it works
ATM machines (Bancomat) in high-traffic tourist areas — particularly the standalone machines near the Bellagio ferry dock and in Como city center on Piazza Cavour — attract card skimming devices and shoulder-surfing. Additionally, currency exchange booths operating near the Como lakefront and at Malpensa Airport offer exchange rates 8–15% worse than interbank rates without clearly disclosing fees, and some quote a rate that applies only above a minimum exchange amount not disclosed until after the transaction begins.
