Tips for Getting the Best Exchange Rate

• Avoid airport kiosks — they typically add a 5–10% margin above the mid-market rate.
• Use a multi-currency account — services like Wise or Revolut offer rates close to the mid-market rate with low fees.
• Check rates before travel — knowing the current rate helps you spot a bad deal at the bureau de change.
• Transfer large amounts carefully — for significant sums, a specialist FX broker can save hundreds over a bank.
