I’ve recently withdraw from the same ATM, same day, same hour 200 JOD (Jordanian Dinars).
I’ve used Curve and then Revolut.
8 Eur dif in such a small amount. What’s the reason?!
I notice that Curve exchanged JOD to USD and then to EUR. Can this be the reason?
thanks
regards
Was it during weekend? At which Curve subscription tier you are? 
Yes, it was on a saturday. Both withdrawals were made with less than 5 minutes interval.
Both Curve and Revolit are the basic free accounts.
There is 1,5 % fee for FX transactions made on weekends with Curve. There is also 2 % or 2 EUR (whichever is greater) fee for credit card ATM witdrawals over 200 EUR per calendar month. Last but not least, there is 2 % fee for FX transactions over 500 EUR per rolling 30-day period for Curve Standard tier (free subscription). 
If you need higher no-fees FX limits, please upgrade to Curve Black or Metal. 
For more information please see Fees. 
Total fees applied was only 3,8 eur (which are similar to Revolut: 4 eur)
The dif to Revolut is 8 eur!! which is only explainable by the exchange rate applied. NOt good at all for such a small amount.
Maybe ATM charged own fees for withdrawal with curve card? Was network same for both cards? (mastercard).
Hi
Same ATM, same day, same time.
Diferent networks: Revolut is VISA, Curve is Mastercard.
Weekend surcharge + different fx rate (MC vs Visa)
No, not possible. Both use Interbank Exchange rate. Both apply almost the same fees. Fees diference was only 0,2 Eur.
Very strange … maybe bye bye Curve …
No, Curve does not use the interbank rate anymore, they use the MC rate.
Why curve did JOD → USD → EUR ? Is that some sort of standard to exchange for less known currencies?
No idea. My curve transaction is on USD and not on JOD.
Did ATM showed any screens about DCC ? (dynamic currency conversion).
nope, no special display
It happened to me in 2020 that a Jordan Kuwait Bank ATM gave me JODs but charged my Revolut Mastercard in USD without a DCC prompt.
Yes, it was also the Bank I used. The strange thing is that revolut it went well…
Maybe because your Revolut is Visa, mine was Mastercard…but as you see I would bet on the ATM doing the conversion.
