Using a VISA card issued from one coountry in an ATM in another country will always have exchange rate issues. This isn't epassporte overcharging you it is the banking system in general.
Instead of moaning about the rate being different from a real time rate posted on an exchange site that you can't actually get anywhere from an ATM, you should compare the costs and benefits of using epassporte with the costs and benefits of not using it.
If you can get more local notes in your pocket by getting whoever pays you to wire funds to your local bank account then surely organising that is a better use of your time.
I guess though that with the bank wire fee, the FX rate the Hungarian bank charges you, and the extra time before you see the money, you will probably start to appreciate the epassporte ATM withdrawals.
epassporte is not the cheapest way to get money out of an ATM overseas but its one of the quickest and easiest.
