Looking for reliable ATMs in Czech Republic that work well with foreign debit/credit cards and dont charge crazy fees. Any recos will be highly appreciated.
In Prague, I had great luck using my Wise Visa card at CSOB ATMs. Had i think a 150 CZK or so fee but issues with withdrawal, and the machine didn’t try to sneak in dynamic conversion. I used the one near Florenc bus station and again in the Old Town worked both times. I also used an Air Bank ATM later in Brno, the also charge a fee but it didnt show on the screen and I cannot remember..
My Revolut Mastercard worked perfectly at a Komercni banka ATM right outside the main train station in Prague. It didn’t charge any extra fees, and I withdrew 5,000 CZK with no problems. Avoid Euronet machines they're all over the city center and look official, but they charge massive markups and sometimes limit withdrawal amounts. Stick to Czech-owned banks whenever you can.
I travelled across Olomouc and Cesky Krumlov recently and had the smoothest experience using a Moneta Money Bank ATM. The one near the main square in Olomouc worked flawlessly with my HSBC debit card. Asked me currency conversion prompt and it did have a flat 169 fees but i needed money urgently so went with it. On the other hand, I tried a UniCredit ATM in Cesky Krumlov and it threw up multiple DCC prompts though it had kind of similar fees like Moneta.
Just last month I was in Karlovy Vary and used a Raiffeisenbank ATM near the bus terminal. My Canadian Visa debit card went through without issue, and the only charge was from my home bank, not the local one. The screen clearly showed fee options, and I declined conversion to avoid inflated rates. I also noticed that Česka spořitelna ATMs tend to work well but can charge 125-150 CZK feesso check the screen before confirming.
@happyknight7241 Czechia ATMs don’t charge fees. They give money of 80000 to 120000 per withdrawal.
Raiffeisen ATM in Czechia charged a flat fee of 100 CZK. Safe and functional location.
Ridiculous fee of 169 CZK at CESKA, even with a Revolut card! Avoid this ATM if you can.
CESKA ATM had a 169 CZK withdrawal fee. Thats on the higher side.
