What is the best prepaid currency card to get for use in Spain? We will be using atm's fairly frequently as well as transactions.

Better with Starling debit card, or same from Metrobank.
No ATM fees in Spain, likewise for goods and services.
Remember - always opt to settle in Euros, not in Sterling.0 -

No longer restricted to customers who could access a branch, which were in and around Greater London etc.
It's a toss up between them and Starling IMO - however the latter works fine with online access via my iPad.0 -

Plus you save money by using a card like Starling and it's safer to carry less cash. So why wouldn't you use them !0 -

Can't be many who don't use a credit or debit card nowadays, and carry around wads of cash instead ?0
