Edit: OK I did not see the "k" after the 500, that's insane.

Well the euronet atm I just used wanted EUR 9.99 im fees to withdraw EUR 40.

Not as bad but also kind of ridiculous.

At least I can still opt out of the convertion and pay the ridiculous transaction fee of EUR 3.95 to have my bank convert the EUR 40 to CHF.

Avoid Euronet everywhere in Europe, just find a bank or credit union with an ATM, they will charge you no or very little fees usually, unfortunately Euronet have a lot of ATMs at airports and in tourist hotspots but their fees and conversion rates are very bad.

Euronet is basically a scam imho.
