Nationwide basic debit card or Euro pre paid card?

owlet

Hi folks

Am I better off using my Nationwide debit card (basic account) or getting a pre paid card?
The prepaid card will lock in the rate , which isn't bad at the moment & fair fx charges €1.50 at ATMs.
I really can't decide and could use some wise words!

Thank you :beer:

The costs will be quite similar. As you say, with FairFX you may be lucky to lock in a good rate. Take both cards with you, as backup. Revolut is much better value than either of them, if you use iPhone or Android.

Thanks for that eDicky, I had a good read up of Revolut last night & I think that will be thevway to go. I've got 5 weeks so plenty of time to get it set up.
