My debit card has stated to charge for cash withdrawals in the eurozone. Is there a cheaper way of buying or withdrawing euros?

Metro bank (you van live anywhere but have to open the account in person in the London area
Norwich and Peterborough BS - reputed to be fussy about who they take on
Cumberland BS - you have to have an address in their branch area.
Or there are prepaid cards (FairFx and Caxton Fx have the best reputation) that have low fees.

Sorry I should have been clearer about that. I`ve never paid interest on a credit card because I always pay off the whole balance. I took about £150 worth of Barbados $ out of a machine in September. When my Santander bill came in I paid it as usual. When the next bill came in there was an interest charge of £1.76. I asked Santander what it was and they said it was interest on the cash withdrawal. It might have been some sort of time lapse with the withdrawal and the billing date.
