A Pre-Holiday Checklist for Sorting Your Travel Money

A little organisation makes holiday money simple. This short checklist covers the essentials, from budgeting to buying. For the currency itself, a commission-free provider such as Travel FX lets you buy euros or US dollars at a clear rate ahead of travel.

The checklist

• Decide which currency or currencies you need
• Set a realistic cash budget for your trip
• Compare the after-fees rate across providers
• Order online in good time for delivery or collection
• Keep a card as backup for larger payments

Why order ahead

Buying in advance beats airport exchange on value and removes a last-minute job. It also lets you buy when the rate suits you.

A trusted provider

Travel FX has more than 18 years of trading, over 60 currencies and a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews.

Work through the checklist and your travel money is sorted well before you fly.
