Despite selling major currencies 10% below spot rate,people still leave it to the last minute and allow these cowboys to Rip them off. All these 0% Commission posters plastered everywhere when they are creaming the rate big time. Misleading information or what ?!

Travelex are good you can pre order at near enough spot rate online and then collect at LGW. The other lot Moneycorp might as well make Dick Turpin masks part of their dire uniform.

I guess it's people coming back from destinations with surplus euros easier to change there than arsing about going to a bank.

I normally have Euros anyway and use the ATMs abroad.
While we're on the subject, when given the option abroad ALWAYS chose local currency. ALWAYS. That way your bank will do the transaction at the market rate. If you chose it in pounds, THEIR bank will do it at the rate they chose, and often pocket a nice healthy (for them) profit. |

You get a pretty good rate from cash converter type shops as well, but the best piece of advice I was given
is to get a Halifax Clarity Credit Card. You get charged at the official rate, and there is no commission. |

I think you can load up a card with actual Euros that you can pick up at the post office to avoid commission, I've thought about it.
