WHY? according to conditions and tarifs by bank BNP Paribas: inside EURO Zone, each withdrawal or payment by visa classic, it's free of charge. And outside EURO Zone, each withdrawal will be charged by 2,9% of commission plus 3 euros. And each payment by visa, you'll be charged 2,9% of commission plus 0,8 euros each time. And i thought that payment by visa is free-of-charge, that's why i used my card alot in iceland, and that's why i got such low exchange rate because i got charged 0,80 euros each time! im such a idiot! So, basically, you're advised to take your money from ATM rather than paying by card.
And i used my card in Iceland at leastmore than 10 times, about 20 plus plus, that means i got charged extra for 16 euros only for the commission of the bank.
i hope i dont give any wrong information to you!

Don't worry, you're not the only one, I also found out about the bank charges after using my card for ATM withdrawal in a non-euro zone. So the best way is to withdraw just once from the ATM, or use money changers :)
yeah, its true! =)) thats what im gonna do next time!
now i understand why my friend said they been charged extra for using card. I'm using Mastercard, so no problem!
