What withdrawing cash in Austria actually costs a Singapore card<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Withdrawing euros in Austria costs more than it does in most of its neighbours. Where German, French, Italian and Spanish bank ATMs often charge a foreign card nothing at all, most Austrian ones charge between 2 and 6 EUR (~S$3\u20139) per withdrawal. The machine has to show you that fee before you confirm, and you can cancel at no cost if it looks steep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Austrian ATMs are free to use for Austrian cards, and Austrian banks don’t charge their own customers to use them. Cards issued overseas, however, pay a foreign-card fee instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also need cash more often than you’d expect. Austria settles 70% of its in-store payments in cash, against a eurozone average of 52%, so budget for more than one trip to a machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, and easily. The national Bankomat network accepts both Mastercard and Visa in all their usual forms, which covers essentially every card issued in Singapore. English menus are standard, so you won’t be guessing your way through German prompts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Finding a machine is straightforward too. Austria has roughly 8,900 ATMs for a population of nine million, clustered around bank branches, supermarkets, train stations and main shopping streets. In German, an ATM is a Bankomat<\/em>, and that’s the word you’ll see on signs and in Google Maps searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Acceptance was never the problem. Cost is, and it comes from two places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
