Actual exchange rates

breadmonkey · 2006-06-19 18:54:54

I'm in Thailand at them moment. I'm taking my money out of the ATMs and I just want to know what the ACTUAL exchange rate is (roughly), once everyone along the way has taken their cut. www.xe.com tells me that 1 euro = 48.3967 Baht What am I really getting?

Impossible to tell exactly as it's the spot rate (the rate at the time you withdraw your money) +1-3% commission for visa/mastercard (who run the plus/cirrus system) and your home bank.

tbh prepare to be disappointed. No other real imput we give give really. If you ring your bank at home they would be able to tell you the euro equivalent of the withdrawals.
