    Dont - just use your card; always the best rates plus a small percentage. Some cards have a percentage, so check your foreign percentage & any other fees with your provider.

    If not, try a bank, or maybe one of the currency exchange places in Newry etc - they may be better. Also, some places in the North like Sainsburys take euro cash *at* a good rate, and give you any change in sterling.

    ^Like he said

    Also, load your card before you need it, there is no charge other than the cross border fee if you are spending your own cash on the card.

    If you're using an atm card stick with your bank - BOI - AIB/Northern Trust etc. if you stray to another bank they'll charge you.

    Credit Union's the best bet. I don't think they charge or if they do the charge is less than the charge on your card. Also, that charge on your card is each time you use it so if you take out £10 3times a day that'll cost you about €10
