Pound-Euro 2016
Jimbo:
Let's assume it was 1.25 etc - that's way above the base rate. On Saturday the Interbank rate was 1.19. Maybe they're going to charge a lot of interest and fees.

Agree Jim, Santander is my bank. I have Santander 123 debit card, 123 credit card and Santander Zero credit card. Both credit cards are commission/charge free, was getting 1.19 - 1.20 only 2 days ago in San Stef. The Santander gold debit card cannot be used abroad without incurring charges, the exception being in Spanish territory where it is commision free.
I also have the Halifax Clarity (like you Jim) and was getting 1.20 from the ATM, but paying off online quickley so as not to incur interest charges. That proved to be better than the 1.12-1.13 (after their 2% commission) which local outlets were offering.
Cash can also be withdrawn on the Santander Zero credit card, commission free, but is unfortunately no longer available.
