Good Morning
I am off to Dublin next weekend and with the Euro being to low I wondered could anyone advise whether I am best to buy Euros before I go or withdraw when there from a cash machine?
thanks

Joannie Be careful if you use your cash card not only will you get a similar rate of exchange but may have to pay a fee too. The PO usually offer competitive exchange rates.
Hope you enjoy Dublin

thanks I just had thought might get a better rate but if you feel will be around the same then no point getting the charge.
It depends what card you have - for example a Nationwide card will have no fees and its exchange rate will be around 5% better than the Post Office - who incidentally do NOT have particularly competitive rates (well it depends on who you compare them with, they are by no means the worst).

The combined fees/exchange rate on the worst cards (eg Lloyds) will still be no worse overall than you'd do at the Post Office.
there will be at least 2.5 charge for withdraw abroad.
today rate is better than last few days, if few hundred euros, may just buy now.
