Hi, in most BRED branches ("BRED Banque Populaire", but not "Banque Populaire Rives de Paris"), you can get 2x :note-5: bills from the indoor ATM but no more that two at a time, but you can make as many withdrawals as you want.
Correction, at least at BRED in Soissons you get many many more :note-5: !

70 EUR: 1 :note-10: + 12 :note-5:
80 EUR: 1 :note-10: + 14 :note-5:
90 EUR: 1 :note-10: + 16 :note-5:
120 EUR: 2 :note-10: + 20 :note-5:
200 EUR: 1 :note-20: + 2 :note-10: + 34 :note-5:

You can only enter a multiple of 10 Euro, entering 75 gave a warning and was not accepted.

On Saturday, I tried this with the ATM at BRED-Banque Populaire, Rue Saint-Antoine in Paris. The two ATMs outside only had :note-20: and :note-50:, but the one inside (reachable during office hours, which apparently include Saturdays) gave 16x :note-5: and 1x :note-10: when I chose to withdraw 90 euros. The ATM went out of service after four consecutive withdrawals... Unfortunately, all I got were UNC Y009 fivers.

HI Guy's,

Thank you for sharing this information. I will check if this works with other branches with a French credit card from a different French bank. Indeed with your German card you could be granted more access to options in ATM in comparison to other French cardholders.

I'll let you know.

I was in Brussels recently and went to an ATM to get some notes and it just blew my mind that you could simply select what kinds of bills you want and in what quantity, so for example if you want 20€ you could just get 4x :note-5: instead of :note-20: 🤯
that's like so much more advanced compared to what we have in Finland, until quite recently you couldn't even get :note-10: from an ATM (only :note-20:& :note-50: ) and being able to get :note-5: while also selecting the quantity sounds like something from another universe 😭

and yet there are way more hits in Finland than in Belgium :?

Not all ATMs have :note-5: on offer, but those that have are great, and we aren't grateful enough for them.

Bonjour!

I'm currently on holiday in the surroundings of Bordeaux :D :flag-fr:

What are the best ATM:s to withdraw from with an non-french VISA-card (though European, Danish)? Are there some that are free or with a very small fee?

Looking forward to hear from you! Merci!

Have fun in this lovely place ! 8) :mrgreen:
In France the bank's ATMs are totaly free. If you have a non-Euro bank account maybe you will pay a fee from your bank.

Merci Kleman!

Yeah, Denmark doesn't use the euro but we're luckily still part of the EU 8)

But I'll then look forward to try one of them! My aunt lives in here, so Bordeaux is the French stronghold for my family :D Unfortunately I don't speak French, but maybe one day.

Would you recommend any specific brand of bank?
