The Singapore airport is a very good place to exchange money as they are very fair with prices and they don't charge you commission fees

So my local bank currency is USD I'm going to Hong Kong so i will need HKD Also I need to pay a lump sum in cash for my acommodation there My question is, is it better to go to my bank here and ask for the amount in HKD I need, or is it better to take the same amount in USD in cash and change it at a bank in HK?

That's exactly what I do My dad prefers to get a few euros in advance from our local AAA office Also be aware that even though the ATM is the best transaction, expect a small commission on both sides Here in Italy, if I use my ATM it's a few euros they take 2-3€ and also check what the cost is on your home bank's side Again, it's worth compared to the traps Mark has just talked about!

I went to Warsaw twice this year and i changed the money, in cash, on the city center ''Kantor'' The exchange rate of these places in Warsaw were surprisingly good! I didn't need to worry about

Mark, I'm an American that has been living in Poland for 7 years, and to be honest, your recommendations aren't correct I've never seen banks with good rates in any country in Europe It's best to be aware of the rate and walk around to an exchange office that has a rate with no more than a 2 margin

In Korea, I found that Citibank has the best exchange rate and the worst locations By that I mean, they are hard to find And when I did not have a Citibank account, it took 2 hours to complete the paperwork

My UK bank is Barclays I use my debit card to take cash from an ATM this is what happens Firstly, the exchange rate is terrible Secondly, I'm charged a transaction fee and a foreign currency handling fee Thirdly, the local Thai banking system charges an ATM usage fee For £300 withdrawal, I get charged about£10 not including the crappy exchange rate! Wtf!

Just thought of something I understand that when you travel to Europe many countries like Spain or France will give you only a 3 month visa Is there a way to get a longer tourist visa so you could actually stay in the EU longer to immerse yourself in the culture of a country or two at more leisurely pace?

The worst place to exchange currency: Reception desk at your hotel
Comment from : @mountainhobo

I know someone with Pakistani rupees (equivalent of $50 US) and literally no place would take it And this person forgot to exchange it back when in Pakistan :(

Got cash at the supermarket checkout :D Bought some stuff asked X-amount cash-back (euro to pounds) Seemed to be the cheapest option but did not work in every supermarket
Comment from : @elise8917

We just left Ireland yesterday! :) Beautiful country :) Thanks for the tip!
Comment from : @LivingFree207

So in general it is better to try to spend your cash before you leave, or save it for a later trip
Comment from : @runarandersen878

Coins can be a bit of trouble I actually changed my British coins into Euro coins on the ferry from Dover to Callais, France Probably not the best exchange rare, but still better than having coins in my pocket that would get lost
Comment from : @runarandersen878

I see what you are saying but atm abroad just look scary

Comment from : @KartoffelHundin

Casinos give the best rate I think
Comment from : @AH-bm4ts

Mark, are you still in Ireland as of Sep 21 8:06 am Houston time?
Comment from : @hittingtax2670

Comment from : @hittingtax2670

Good tips! Also avoid exchanging currency though the "money-changers" standing at / around tourist places
Comment from : @Jan99

Agree Cards are the way to go Have a look also at those prepaid cards services in your country that might offer some good commissions too It's even safer than using your debit card
Comment from : @Lucian86

I always use Revolut! It has the best exchange rates, you can get money from ATM with their rates (even at the airport!) Helped me a lot throughout my travels The only bummer is that it's not supported by Apple Pay
Comment from : @biancopalmo

I have lived abroad for most of my life so the best thing is really just to pay with a card and keep as little cash as possible with you :-/ you'll never get a good deal by exchanging currencies!
