Opening a Euro Account
Hi, I go on holiday no more than twice a year (mostly within Europe) but I hate having to carry around a load of cash for the duration. I was wondering whether it might be worth opening a personal Euro account... is that plausible / are there any pitfalls I should be aware of? Obviously it would need to come with a debit…

We’d been looking forward to our summer holiday in Crete all year, the first time we’d gone away in the summer holidays as our daughters had got to that age…

Selling back euros in UK
Does anybody know how it might be possible to get anywhere near the banks rates when exchanging euros to sterling in the UK? I've been to post offices, exchange bureaus, pawn shops and the rates they offer to buy euros is that far away from the day's official bank rate, it is quite shocking. You go to an money changer in…

Car Hire Overcharge Scam - Firefly Barcelona airport
Too late for me but a heads up for anyone who's unaware of this particular trick car hire companies use. Basically we were 3 hours late into Barcelona due to poor weather, but still well within office hours.

Foreign currency - should I hang on to it until the crisis is over
Hello, I have a bit of foreign currency for holidays that I had planned to take this year. I have some US dollars and yen.

I'm concerned…
