In Finland ATMs only give €10, €20 and €50 And unfortunately you cannot choose which notes you are getting like you can in some countries Usually they will give you the smallest possible amount of notes but not always Comment from : @pentti3715 |

Yes great video -helpful and informative -i like the fact that i can read it too not many videos seem to have subtitles! So hello to all u travellers! Im going to cyprus 4 a couple of weeks and Im hoping someone can tell me do i even need to take euros at all?? I keep seeing conflicting views around online I'm guessing I wont need more than 100 in UK money?? I dont want to spend much and Im staying with a friend so Im confused about whether how much euros will b needed because so many places are cashless and use tap etc Any advice much appreciated! Thanks all Comment from : @louisabventura8264 |

I can't wait until xrp is public no more expensive transaction fees ooo4 cents per trans Bring it on ! Comment from : @derekcrook3723 |

As a Swede working in a touristy place The most common thing I'd want Americans to know is know your four digit pin and don't bring cash As in DON'T BRING CASH! You don't need it and will probably not be able to spend them before you leave The number of people I've met that have trouble paying for lunch because they only have cash is almost comical We generally use cash so little that I don't think I've used an ATM in Sweden for at least 10 years The only time I can think of you'd need cash is to buy drugs I'd honesty be surprised if couldn't buy drugs with a credit/debit card as well if you wanted to Comment from : @nomusician4737 |

You may want to have a 'wise card' and Zelle to put money in your Wise card from your bank This way, you get the best rate and don't get banged by your own bank Comment from : @Billionaireben |
|
Great points… Comment from : @Broke_Expat |
|
Which is better Buy the currency you need before you go or use an ATM in your country and how much per day? Comment from : @jl453 |
|
Check you bank and see who they have agreements with For example Bank of America often has an agreement with one large bank in bigger countries that will not charge you the bank transaction fee using their ATM Also, If you are a good customer, you can order foreign cash online at a decent exchange rate and I usually get it at home within two days Comment from : @boatlover1875 |
|
In most countries, you can pay with a credit card It’s best to use a credit card which does not charge foreign transaction fees MasterCard and Visa are your best options since they are the most widely accepted credit cards worldwide Comment from : @arosenweig |
|
One more tip - figure out which of your coins have the most similar dimensions to 1€ and 50c and take some with you Reason - you can pay with your card at the supermarket, no problem, but you may need a coin to unlock the shopping cart And, at some airports, the same system works for baggage carts… Comment from : @Чех-б2ю |
|
this might be a dumb question but do they have american banks like chase around the world assuming the same banks you use at home will give you the best rates Comment from : @AK-hi4hm |
|
i am stressed Comment from : @HannahKanavel |
|
I didn't even know there were such thing as prepaid credit cardsbrbrI doubt I'll ever travel abroad, BUT if I do, I'll keep that in mind for looking into a prepaid credit card with a PIN Comment from : @Cody-Bear |

Get Euros/Yes/Renminbi or Whatever currency you have, at your bank Most banks can get you foreign currency, there may or may NOT be a cost depending on your bank, but it beats those Always Taking your Money machines (we don't abbreviate "Your" in this case 😅) Comment from : @Pressplay_Media_EU |
|
Great tips Mark! Thank you so much!!! Comment from : @karenkranig2968 |

You know, my bank and my credit card company (like many here) use the latest chip technology (like they do in Europe) so I do not have to deal with telling my bank or credit card company I am travelling, and they can also use tap and go technology Also, because I am with a huge bank, I can order foreign currency on line, they debit my account and in 3 or 4 days I can pick up the notes at my local branch, or have it delivered by FedEx (or pick up at my local FedEx office) On a personal note, the worst coins to deal with are British coins, only because it is often damned hard to see the number on them And yes I currently have euros, pounds, Mexican pesos, and Canadian dollars - paper and coins My last trip in my travel wallet I had Swiss francs, euros, and US dollars Comment from : @carlfromtheoc1788 |

Fun fact: Discover is Diners Club International in Europe Sometimes a hotel looks strangely at your Discover card but when they charge it they'll see Diners ClubbrBut it's very rarely accepted Mostly big hotel chains Comment from : @PascalGienger |
|
Tried for a credit card with no overseas fees but was knocked back because I, personally, don’t earn enough Quite disappointing Just needed a vid like this 👍 Comment from : @AnneMB955 |
|
Last fall when we were in Italy none of the bank ATM would give me money from my VISA debit card with a chip in Rome, Florence, nor Venice Concierge in Venice hotel said he had previously lived in London and had same problem in Italy Comment from : @seankayoden4001 |

Make sure that u get a blocking wallet if u re going to use the tap and go option Comment from : @carlamortlock |
|
Sometimes here in the UK in the foreign money shops you can pay a small fee to lock in the exchange rate for when you want to sell your foreign currency back to the shop when you come back home to the UK Comment from : @joshlunt7827 |
|
You forgot to say to make sure you have coins for the public toilets that charge Comment from : @johnsobaszko1700 |
|
In Mexico, everyone wants change and no one will give itbrEven a supermarket won't break a larger bill, not even 200 pesos, about 10 bucks I ended up going to a bank Comment from : @davidvavra9113 |

On exchange houses, recently traveled in Switzerland coming from France, and the best exchange rates for cash that I got were in coop of all places, I guess it pays to look around Comment from : @sammassey3894 |

One other thing The paper 20 pound note is being retired the end of September 2022 I was holding mine fire my next trip but it will not be until after September I just took it to my bank (Chase) and deposited it into my account Comment from : @cbfranke66 |
|
One thing that I found that to change language on the ATMs you pick the flag that is associated with that language And for English you have to pick the UK flag brbrAlso I found that many Post Offices have ATMs Comment from : @cbfranke66 |
|
Bad idea to get Euros from your bank before you go They will not give you the best rate and charge you a transaction fee to boot Go to a European bank ATM once you arrive and get Euros there Comment from : @paulkoza8652 |

Oh no Mark, I am from Germany and I never get 100 € bills from the ATM Nobody wants them here either Usually, I get 4x 50 € and the rest in 20 € or 10 € bills But there might be differences in different cities I am from Munich and here, you can also withdraw "crooked" amounts, eg 270 €, while in Berlin I have had the experience that they only pay out full 50s there, ie 250, 300, 350 € etcbrbrYou are right with the transaction fees on credit card expenses When I went to the US with my Mastercard, they charged me 2 fee on each transaction in US $brBut forget about American Express in Europe (especially in Germany) - and I have never heard about Discover 😳brbrIt was quite useful to mention the tap function You can use it even at my local bakery 😊 Comment from : @zwiderwurzn5908 |
|
I haven't checked recently but AAA used to offer a money pack for going abroad, usually enough to go from the airport to your accommodations brIf you are traveling light or dont mind the load, many times public transportation such as subways and rail serve airports, check into this before pondering a taxi, I learned this watching videos aimed at airport arrivals and how to get into the city Comment from : @Stache987 |
|
Wait, you mean, you can actually iuse/i a Discover card outside the US and Canada?! XD Comment from : @Ice_Karma |
|
Napiszę po polsku, tak jest łatwiej W Czechach nie potrzebujesz czeskich koron - wystarczy karta płatnicza We Francji jesteśmy 2 tygodnie - nie wydaliśmy ani jednego EUR w gotówce W Niemczech za paliwo, hotele, zakupy też płacimy kartą brNajlepiej założyć konto walutowe, kartę do niego a walutę kupować w kantorach internetowych Gotówka do niczego nie jest potrzebna, nawet do parkomatu Comment from : @maciejnowak2768 |
|
I’d like to add that, once in a blue moon, you might find an ATM, or train kiosk, that won’t say “English” They will have a list of country flags, to choose from, that represent a language In that case, you want to choose the British flag (🇬🇧) Comment from : @gentrybowley1018 |

I went to several European countries in high school right before they went to the Euro I saved a few of the bills from each place, thinking "hey if I come back I can use these!" wellnot so much with the Euro But now they make a cool historical reminder/memory from when I was there so it all worked out!
