And you’d do all this for a family holiday in France? Good grief man, just take some Euros and a few cards and stop making life so complicated. -
CG are you an American by any chance?Originally posted by ControlGThanks for the info.
Puzzled as to why someone who isn't inspired by foreign travel is automatically some doddery old fool who is a menace to other road users; but hey! never mind

I know its a little over board for some people.Originally posted by planetitAnd you’d do all this for a family holiday in France? Good grief man, just take some Euros and a few cards and stop making life so complicated.
Comes in handy when you have been commuting to mainland Europe for work since 1998 though.
Used to pay a fortune in exchange rate differences and then overseas transfers. God bless the Euro.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

best way to get some foreign cash is to buy on line at Travelex or such store.... best rates no commission, if you think you know how much you want approx
Of course it can be nicked but France isn't too bad really apart from a few dodgy cities, so keep the cash in your pocket and you'll be sweet!
But you probably don't need that much cash anyway as you can pay by credit card for most transactions, same as here really...

Nationwide are v Good. They don't charge a fee AND give you the proper exchange rate (as close as damn it to the currency market rate) much better than exchanges sell at. I don't understand why people still use Barclays, Natwest HBOS etcOriginally posted by Lucifer BoxBut you may pay extortionate charges, Halifax for example charges 2.75% + £1.50 per transaction if you use an ATM abroad.
The only one who does not charge currently is Nationwide.
The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

No...I dont get charged any fee's because Im a preferred customerOriginally posted by Lucifer BoxNo, you've just never noticed, which is not the same thing. HSBC (amongst others) hide the charge by including it in the line item on your statement in the form of a crappy rate.[/url]
Gawd its so nice being in a country where my bank thinks of me as an investment and not a bludger! If only my bank manager from NZ could see me now!
