    get a revolut card. top it up with Euros, and take out GBP in the UK (no fees, excellent exchange rates). Alternatively, yes just take out GBP at the atms over there (although you'll pay a fee).

    For the Korun, exchange them over there, you'll get better rates than here, but there'll be charges.

    There should be a good website to allow individuals to change the money between themselves, thereby cutting out the huge commission the banks make from money that is essentially all transparent to them. I have £200 that I want to change to Euros and at current rates I'd be happy to take €250, as the banks won't offer me that, nor will they offer you that on the reverse transaction!. Anyone in Galway want to do this, contact me. Thanks

    there are loads but they are all for electronic money. no one deals with cash, hence why something like revolut is perfect for travelling.
