Monthly donation in foreign currency from UK - what is the cheapest option?

dingling68

I hope this is the right place to ask.

I would like to set up a regular donation to a charity based in Thailand through donorbox.org and the currency specified is dollars.

I am based in the UK and wondered what would be the most cost effective way for me to do this? I have a paypal account and various current and credit card accounts that I could use. 

Does anyone else use donate through donorbox?

Thank you

If payment is made via a CPA (continuous payment authorisation) then a fx fee free credit card would be the most cost effective way.

I didn’t think to look for other sections … I tend to only inhabit banking, pensions and savings so thank you 😊

I route international purchases either through my Virgin Money M Plus current account or Nationwide Member Credit Card, both of which are fee-free. As a full current account, the Virgin Money M Plus also has many other great features so I’d recommend checking either out. Nationwide Member Credit Card is more difficult to get through and is a credit card, which you may not want/need.
