Of course, reading this thread and its predecessors will give many examples of DCC that aren't in compliance with the payment network rules.
Santander was not the one with double opt-out
But 14.95% markup plus fees on a bank ATM? This was inside Santander bank. It seems Santander offloads ATM responsibility to Euronet (and also participates in Euronet, so their own card members won't get fees). Foreign cards get shafted.
