When you travel, having the right currency in your pocket is essential and it is well worthwhile shopping around for the best exchange rates and commissions. Keep in mind that commission free foreign exchange is not always the cheapest option, as the exchange rate used to calculate your currency may be much higher.

Specialist companies offer a range of excellent services such as online ordering, delivery to your door, guaranteed buy-back rates and even a cash card in the currency of your choice which can be used in the same way as a credit card and topped up online.

The key to best value is to choose the right currency company.
