How it works
Euronet ATMs — found throughout central Warsaw — charge high service fees and offer poor exchange rates with dynamic currency conversion. Tourists who accept the offered conversion rate lose significantly more than they should.
How it works
Private currency exchange kiosks (kantors) clustered near Krakowskie Przedmieście and the Old Town Market Place advertise highly competitive rates to draw tourists in, then shortchange them during the transaction through sleight of hand, fast counting, or by swapping high-denomination notes for lower ones mid-count. Some kiosks display a favorable rate on the board but apply hidden fees that only appear on the receipt after the transaction is complete.
