    Your bank will give you a better currency exchange rate than Amazon/Paypal etc.

    Amazon exchange rate is not bad but the difference on something costing €100+ could be as much as €5 when your card supplier does the currency exchange.

    that fitbit should work out at about €92 if your bank does the currency exchange.

    It shows the exchange rate - 1.14

    Check visa exchange rate - about 1.125 earlier today.

    Sometimes your bank will charge a commission or transaction fee.

    Overall its about 0.5% - 1% difference.
