Thank you for the reply! I indeed did get scammed. I was not given a choice at all. Ive seen the merchant punch in the numbers into the card terminal, so I don't think it was him. Looks like the bank did that randomly.

Surely bunq can do something about that...

I made a purchase with my TRY local account, but for some reason I was charged a $ amount. The merchant did not pick $ as payment, I was the 2000 TRY as the amount on the card terminal and that's what I expected to be charged.

As you see the total amount was even changed.

Is bunq aware of this issue? This isn't the first time it's happened to me. Seems like some merchant banks arbitrarily charge bunq cards in whatever currency they want because they see that it's a European card. Support isn't really supportive with this issue.

Who else has this issue? Did anyone successfully resolve it ?

I really recommend opening the Lira local currency account!

Does the Maestro card work, or should I order the Mastercard version?
