    Hi all,

    Trying to work out which is cheaper .... exchange money beforehand or just use ATM.

    From Ulster Bank .....

    2% of transaction amount + 1.5% of transaction amount

    Was it always this expensive or is it a case of more stealth bank charges?

    Is that with credit card, or debit?

    The problem with exchanging money beforehand you may need to carry around / store large amounts of cash. I'd rather use an atm and withdraw the money when i need it. Just check how much your bank lets you withdraw in one transaction while overseas.

    My bank now tells me that I have to let them know every time I leave the country. Just back from hols to find my card was put on "hold".
