  • i think it was a good idea to put the P.O in the list down the bottom as it deters people from posting....

    How much better is it to get Euros out of a machine? I know it depends on charge from card, but a standard Halifax debit card....approximately?

    Please help me...sorry its a bit rambling!

    I was going to say, have a look on the Halifax website. However have had a look for about 5 minutes, but cannot find the information!!

    In general Halifax will charge up to 2.0% above the Visa wholesale rate, which is still probably better than the tourist rate, which can be c.6% above the wholesale rate.

    Best bet would be to call Halifax up and ask them.
