Exchange rates!

The Halifax Clarity Card exchange rate for cash withdrawals and purchases was 1.173€ to £. Better than I expected.
At the same time I used my Nationwide credit card, this is their exchange rate!

    IIRC Clarity is MasterCard and Nationwide is Visa
    IME MasterCard rates are generally a little better than Visa
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end

    and that exchange rate can change from day to day.
    I always use my Halifax Clarity- for one thing they no longer need notification that I am going abroad.
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

  • I prefer Tandem Credit Card - all the advantages of Halifax Clarity with 0.5% cashback. Also you get almost instant notification of card use which is a great security benefit.
