Welcome all to the big family.

As I received some exotic country hits in the last time,
it was my desire to display the concerning country flags on the EBT profile page.
Unfortunately on the EBT profile page (signature) it is not possible to display images.
But all the country flags ARE IMAGES like https://hr.eurobilltracker.com/img/flags/Croatia.gif

Some days ago EBT member Klapotec transfered a list of country flags (gif) into smileys.
Smileys can be very well displayed on the EBT profile page.
Just have fun with the new feature!

Note: This "country-flag-smileys" work exclusively on the EBT profile page and not here in the forum.
see-> "Smiley Flag" for the United States :flag-us: does not work here but on the profile page it will work.

Hiya, next week I am going too, not just notes, but also note selections if are available at all. I went there right after EUR was introduced and do not remember getting the option to choose notes on any ATM I have tried....
Thanks.

According to this comment, there seem to Erste Bank ATM's with . However, my experience with Croatian ATM's is that most charge a hefty fee of at least €3,75 per withdrawal. The only ATM's without a fee are Euronet, Agram Banka and the Hrvatska Poštanska Banka. This was in May 2023.

If you want to get at a Croatian bank, try not to go for too many (€250, so 50x is the max). Also, it is first come, first served when it comes to at the bank: the only times I managed to get was in the morning.

Hi Elmo, I am surprised to hear that Euronext was ever free of any fees. To me they are synonym to exorbitant fees and I keep away from them. Where did you mange to withdraw with no fee? Was it one off or do you often use Euronet? Did you check your bank statement after the fact if there were no fees indeed?

In Croatia I used Euronet almost all the time, and not a single time have I been charged a fee. And yes, I checked my bank statement afterwards!

most charge a hefty fee of at least €3,75 per withdrawal.

So I have tried and the fee is now 4.75 EUR, maybe only for Slovakian cards though. Both Erste and Agram, no choice of notes in either.
I have tried OTP too, but the ATM froze and started rebooting itself...I was lucky it spat my card out, so I walked away.

Back from Croatia today . I was there for 6 days. But every atm i try ask for extra . Almost 5€ .

I was in Rijeka for three days, and it seems impossible to obtain notes from ATMs without fees using foreign cards.

I tried several machines from Raiffeisen, Erste and OTP, all of them want to charge me between 4,65 and 5,35 € of commissions.

It's a pity, because cash seems very well accepted everywhere in Rijeka (except at the Castle of Trsat; there you can pay the 2€ ticket using card only, but you can obtain change at the inside coffee bar.).
