Hi just booked a holiday to Spain for June, where is best place to get Euro? Belfast/North Coast areas?
I've heard that there's somewhere in Newry doing £1 to €1.40 just curious to find out anywhere closer doing something similar?
Thanks!

Apparently 1.385 today.

The 1.385 for travel cards is a fair bit out of date as well - FairFX and Caxton both under 1.33 - live Caxton link (scroll about a third down the page) https://www.caxtonfx.com/currency-cards/why-use-a-currency-card0

Halifax clarity credit card gives great exchange rate 1.38 at minute and no charges for using abroad.If your going to Canaries the cigarette shops usually give good exchange rate normally 4-5 cents above the bank rate.0

Thanks for this as I was for asking the same any other time we have went away we have used the money shop but now our local one has closed~We are all going to hell and guess who Is driving the bus~*Norn Iron club Member 294* (Hi, we’ve had to remove part of your signature.

Order from Post Office-on -line much better rate than the Post Office Counters which give a poor rate
mid rate for euro today is 1.358 so you should be able to buy around 1.32 for amounts over £1000

the rate changes every day and Sterling is volatile coming up to the election!
