    OK but I've just checked their rates against FairFX an they are 1.25 euro cents adrift, plus if I've understood it you need to make larger card loads. So unless you are going to take out lots of piddling little amounts how are you better off than using Fairfx?
  • I have a Caxton Fx card and have compared the rates to other providers such as fairfax and most of the time there is very little difference. I think the no atm fees will make all the difference.

    the no atm fees will only make a difference if you use ATMS... if you use the card to PAY for goods, the higher exchange rate will make the difference...

    I assume the bit in red is a typo. If not, I think we all want some!
