Always Choose to Pay in Local Currency
When paying with your debit or credit card abroad, card terminals will often ask if you want to pay in GBP (£) or the local currency (e.g., EUR or USD). Always choose the local currency to avoid poor dynamic currency conversion (DCC) markups.
Beware of Independent Foreign ATMs
Independent ATM operators (like Euronet) often charge high local withdrawal convenience fees. Where possible, withdraw cash from ATMs operated by major established international banks.
