Belfast International Airport - Euros

BOBS

Can anyone of you confirm there is an autobank at the airport where I can get my euros ? -
I have a Halifax clarity card which consistently gives the best rates so thinking this would be best amount of euros for my pound !.

Thanks all.

Does it work that way when dispensing Euros? I thought the machine owner (bank) sets the rates?


Different to using your clarity to get Euros from a machine in a Euro country?


From hunting around


Where a customer makes a withdrawal from a euro cash machine within Northern Ireland, the currency conversion rate is the one applied by the owner of the cash machine

ah think maybe you are right !! Thanks Ballyblack too - think will get a few euros from here and find an autobank on the other side in the 'euro' country!! - Unless we have a wee Sunday drive and pop over the border
Just had one of those dimmer moments.

Nope, don't think so, almost sure if you lift 100 Euros in the airport you're billed 100 Euros same as abroad, ie, Halifax Clarity will charge you 100 Euros at perfect rates plus 1% interest. Am sure I've done it with my Saga card in City Airport and been billed that way...
