Few or none: no installed machine is listed for Toulouse. So the nearest machine may be a trek, and where one exists it still charges for rent, cash transport and insurance through its fee. A person-to-person meetup at Gare Matabiau has none of those costs, so the same Toulouse trade costs 5 percent instead of 15 to 30.
What the machine costs in Toulouse, against a meetup
| Where | Fee | You lose | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cheap ATM, posted fee only | 12% | ||
| Typical ATM, fee plus rate markup | 18% | ||
| Expensive ATM | 25% | ||
| Cash meetup via Satpeer | 5% |
Assumptions: ATM ranges from published 2026 fee reviews, 10 to 25 percent posted plus a 5 to 15 percent rate markup. Our 5 percent is the whole cost, quoted against the live market rate at the meetup.
