Fairfx or Norwich and peterborough

Currently considering both for money to spend in america, but I cant find any information to tell me what type of exchange rate to expect from Norwich and Peterborough.

Does anyone have ideas where I can find this info?

I'm pretty sure Norwich and Peterborough issue Mastercards )as opposed to Visa) so the exchange rate is set by MC.

A conversion calculator for current and historic rates can be found here:

It is, as Martin Lewis would say, a perfect exchange rate. I don't think you'll find a way of beating Norwich and Peterborough's exchange rate.

N&P actually issues Visa cards, although the principle is the same as for Mastercards. Visa exchange rates are here: http://www.visaeurope.com/en/cardholders/exchange_rates.aspx

For major currencies like USD and EUR the Visa/Mastercard rates are so close to the mid-market spot rates as to make no practical difference. With minor currencies there can be a bit of variation, but it's still the best way to pay or obtain cash in most countries.

Note that most (not all) American ATMs have their own charge, so it's worth researching availability of free ATMs.

TD Bank don't charge for atm withdrawal s but not sure if they are only found in New York.

Used the N&P card to get €40 out yesterday - charge was £32.64

That's 122.55 - will that do??
