Getting holiday money on the internet can save you £s and rates are far more competitive than the ones found at airports, the high street, travel agents and your local bank. Currency exchange providers offer next day home delivery and the good news is you don't have to pay a penny extra or additional charges and your money still beeps at 0% commission.
Traveller cheques continue to be one of the safest ways to carry funds abroad, mostly issued by American Express and sold independently online. Expect to pay 1% to 2% on Sterling Travellers cheques.
See below euro and dollar best exchange rates from travel money providers including ICE, Travelex, Post Office, M&S (Marks and Spencer), Fair FX, Saga, Natwest, RBS, HSBC, Halifax, Online FX and Thomas Cook.
