No.
Many ATMs (and sometimes even payment terminals in shops and restaurants) will offer you to convert the CZK into your home currency. For example, if you want to withdraw 1000 CZK, the machine will offer you
- to either withdraw 1000 CZK and let your bank do the conversion
- or do the conversion and charge you with your home currency
This is nearly always a bad deal. The conversion rate that the ATM will apply is usually much worse than the one your bank will apply.
So when asked, always pick Decline the conversion and pay / withdraw CZK.
