This question has probably been asked before so excuse me if it has, but where does the exchange rate on the home page come from, it seems a lot higher than any I have seen and boy do I check, want the best for my meager funds.

It's the interbank rate and not the tourist rate.

But you will get very close to that rate if you withdraw from the ATM's !!

Depending on your card provider, I understand Nationwide don't charge, my bank Lloyds TSB does so check with your bank first.
