Now, let's address some of the most common questions that travellers have about exchanging currency:

When is the best time to exchange currency?

The best time to exchange currency is when the exchange rate is favourable to you. Exchange rates can be influenced by a variety of factors, including economic and political events, so it's important to keep an eye on the exchange rate before you make your currency exchange. We recommend that you keep an eye on our exchange rates page to stay up-to-date with the latest rates.

How much cash should I carry when travelling abroad?

The amount of cash you carry when travelling abroad depends on your destination and your travel plans. We recommend carrying enough cash to cover your immediate expenses, such as transportation, meals, and accommodation, and keeping the rest of your money in a bank account or on a credit or debit card. This way, you can avoid carrying too much cash and reduce the risk of losing money.

Can I use my credit or debit card abroad?

You can use your credit or debit card abroad, but you may incur additional fees, such as foreign transaction fees and currency conversion fees. It's always a good idea to check with your bank or card provider before you travel to find out what fees you may be charged.

Can I exchange currency at the airport?

You can exchange currency at the airport, but the exchange rates and fees can be high. We recommend that you exchange your currency before you travel to ensure that you get great exchange rates and avoid additional fees.

What can I do with leftover currency?

We have a buyback guarantee that allows you to sell back up to 30% (and to a maximum of £750 per currency) of any unused foreign currency you purchased from Ramsdens, at the same exchange rate you originally bought it for.
