What is the "Private Euronet ATM fees and conversion trap" scam in Toulouse?

Question

Accepted Answer

Bright standalone 'Euronet' and similar non-bank ATMs clustered around the centre charge foreign cards inflated withdrawal fees and push 'dynamic currency conversion', offering to bill you in your home currency at a poor rate that can cost several percent more than declining. Use ATMs attached to real banks (BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Credit Agricole, LCL, Caisse d'Epargne, La Banque Postale). Always choose to be charged in euros and decline the machine's conversion offer.
