    Just been talking about that at lunch... M&S was best a few weeks ago but may have changed by now.

        The Post Office. If there is one within 100 miles of you.

            Got one of those Caxton FX pre loaded Euro card things, rates seem pretty competitive and no charges using it abroad.

              Nationwide always give very good exchange rates when using your Debit card from ATMs abroad, and no fee within Euroland. I went to Turkey last week which is outsie of Europe and they are suppsed to be charging a £1.50 fee for FX but didn't do it there either.

                No, but you don't get rich by wasting money on bad exchange rates.

                    Often you get a marginally better rate in a high street bank at the destination, I find, not in a high street exchange kiosk though. I tend to buy as much as posssible on my Nationwide card, you get a wholesale exchange rate on those.
