I mean, and I must confess, it's an attractive offer sometimes in a shop or restaurant, isn't it? Would you like to pay in familiar old sterling rather than the local currency? Is that a good idea?
22:44
It isn't, no. Simon's right in terms of the fact that you should always pay in the local currency because it's one less form of conversion charge that will apply.
22:54
But it's the means of paying that's key here because when you pay using a traditional bank debit card, then these fees, these transactional fees often apply.
23:05
Now, there are some other methods that will allow you to avoid those fees or reduce those significantly.
23:11
But unfortunately, you have to do quite a bit of shopping around and research to find the best deal for you.

24:18
I would do a little bit of research.
