Since there is really zero info about this in web, I took my time and gathered all info I could from official places.

In summary:
ALL MOLDOVIAN BANKS CHARGE FEES, so it seems best way is to get local currency is old school way, that is exchanging your hard currency like EUR, USD, GBP, etc. locally in Moldova in places like banks, exchange offices etc. There is plenty of those in Chisinau.

Also when withdrawing money from ATM you should note, that fees given in this article only reflect Moldovian banks side. Usually there is also some fees from your card issuing bank.

So you want to withdraw cash in local currency Moldovan leu (MDL) from atm in Moldova with foreign card (issued outside Moldova) and wonder about commissions from Moldova banks?

Here it is - info valid in 25th December 2024:

OTP Bank
1,5% + 1 eur
Big network - a lot of atms in Chisinau

Maib (Moldova AgroIndBank)
1.5% + 20 MDL (~1,05 eur)
Big network - a lot of atms in Chisinau

MoldIndConBank
2%
Big network - a lot of atms in Chisinau

Victoriabank
1,5% + 20 MDL (ATMs outside hotel premises)
2,5% + 20 MDL (ATMs inside hotels)
Relatively big network

FinComBank
2,5% + 50 MDL (~2,60 eur)
Rather small network

EximBank
1,9% (according to pricelist), but possibly 2,5% (read below)
Bank representative told me that fee depends on your foreign account currency - if its in USD or EUR, then price will be 2,5%, if in MDL (which is highly unlikely), then 1,9%... this is strange policy, I think they force DCC (dynamic currency conversion).
36 atms in Chisinau

ProCredit Bank
??? - no info about fees
Small network - only 2 atms in Chisinau

EuroCreditBank
2%
Small network - only 7 atms in Chisinau

Energbank
2,5% (limit per day is 400 eur equivalent)
Small network - only 7 atm in Chisinau

Comerțbank
1,5% + 15 MDL (~0,78 eur)
Small network - only 5 atms in Chisinau

Also interestingly that you can withdraw USD, EUR and RON in a lot of atms in Moldova, but withdrawal fees are even higher for those currencies.
