Has anyone thought about a set of starling bank accounts?? GBP, euro and us$ (if you want it).
I have a sterling bank account to which I can transfer money from my usual uk bank account.
Online, I can transfer that into a euro account at a good rate of exchange. The charge is 0.04%. And gave me a rate better than taking out lots of cash from post office before travel.
The Mastercard debit card (contactless) works on both sterling and euro account depending which country I’m in and how you’ve set it up. I can pay euros by bank transfer as well.
I haven’t been charged any atm charges for cash and there are no restrictions on withdrawals other than 300 euro per day. No other charges for the service.
Sterling also does dollars the same way, same card.
Just a thought.
