Get the best exchange rates
If you travel often, you can save a fortune with some quick research
Exchange rates vary wildly, and whether you need to buy some ready cash for a holiday or if you travel every week, your Apple devices will help you to get the best possible rates. You need to know the current ‘true’ rate to then decide if the price an organisation is offering you is fair. Also, take care not to just look at the rate and to calculate the commission rates and the difference between the buy and sell rates. Many places advertise zero commission but will catch you with a low buy back rate.
