Withdrawing cash with foreign bank cards (e.g. DKB Visa) often results in paying extra fees. For example, ATMs from '''Euronet''' charge a fee of 100 CZK. So avoid them.

}}{{FAQ/Item|q= Should I use currency conversion? |a=
 
 
'''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'''.
 
 
}}{{FAQ/Item|q= How much should I withdraw? |a=
 
 
In Czechia, you can '''pay by card nearly everywhere''': At supermarkets, ticket machines, restaurants and even most street food places.
 
* So you will need cash only very rarely.
 
* It is enough to withdraw '''only''' an amount needed as a '''backup'''.
 
Some ATMs '''trick you''' to withdraw more than you need, by '''offering only high amounts''' when withdrawing.
 
* So remember the exchange rate. For EUR-CZK, it is '''1 to 25'''.
 
* Thus, '''€40''' are around '''1000 CZK'''.
