Geordie1970 You are right about the charges which can be considerable depending on the bank card you use. I discovered this to my cost a few years ago hence the reason I use the Halifax Clarity Card which was recommended by Martin Lewis as there's no withdrawal or conversion charges. There are others with no charges too so maybe worth checking out for the future.

Does anyone know what the limit is on Sterling into Turkey? .. Don't fancy being accused of Money laundering and losing it! Lol :lol:


Thg only money laundering i do is when my wallet stays in my swim shorts and I remember on the 2nd length of my 1st swim !!!

Hi

Interbank rate at 3.63 to the £ you should get mid to late 3.50's in resort
still on the rise due to Bank of England saying interest rates may go up this year

Watch this space :D
