Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I exchange currency for travel?
ATMs and credit cards with no foreign transaction fees typically offer the best exchange rates. Avoid airport kiosks and hotel exchanges, which charge 5-12% markups.
Should I exchange currency before traveling?
It is wise to have a small amount of local currency for arrival (taxi, tips). Exchange a small amount at your bank before departure, then use ATMs at your destination for the best rates.
What is the foreign transaction fee?
Most credit cards charge a 3% foreign transaction fee on purchases abroad. Some travel credit cards waive this fee entirely, making them the most cost-effective payment method overseas.
