Let’s be honest – sorting out travel money can be a bit of a headache. With so many options out there, it’s easy to get caught up in the confusion: should you go for cash or card? Who’s offering the best exchange rate? Is it better to use your bank or a travel money provider?
One thing’s for sure though – changing your money at the airport at the last minute is usually one of the most expensive ways to do it.
