Euros now or after brexit?

LibbyL92

Hi all,

I’m going away to spain in May. I need to get my euros and would normally get them a few days before I leave.

What with brexit approaching do I get them now or wait until March is over?

Abandon pointless speculation and the cost of exchanging cash by obtaining and using suitable cards for travel that 'get' your euros at the ideal rate when used in Spain, such as Starling Bank, Metro bank, Monzo etc.

Great! I have a monzo card so just put my spending money on there rather than changing up here?

In summary however, no one knows the answer.

Shockingly, Martin's "updated" views are exactly the same as his views every time someone asks "should I buy foreign currency before or after insert momentous event here?". Who'd have thought it?

We picked some dollars on Friday, as the pound was up.

The poor girl in Debenhams was harassed as the place had been busy all day and the place had run out if euros.

To OP, watch exchange rates and get some if it's good.

Edit - not good, but better than dire, as it has been.
