The first first webpage seems to be dead now. The interbank rate will be a very good approximation of the mastercard one: http://www.oanda.com/currency/converter/. Adjust it by 2.99% that you can find in your card summary box.0 -
If you are buying something to be sent here, don't forget that you will probably have to pay VAT and possibly duty. On top of that there is the Royal Mail's rip-off fee for customs clearance, which you can avoid by asking your vendor to state clearly on the package that you will handle customs yourself (search this site for details).0
