When withdrawing or depositing in a foreign currency, ask about fees and commissions as well as the headline rate — they can change the final cost more than the rate itself. Bank rates differ slightly from those at exchange bureaux, and which is better depends on the size and type of the transaction, so a comparison is worth the minute it takes. Keep receipts from currency transactions, particularly when travelling. They may be required when converting an amount back or proving the source of the currency.
