  Try any of the banks (preferably the one you’re with). When I went to France (earlier in 2012), I used a travelers money card, which can store up to 6 different currencies on them (though I only needed the one currency!). Very useful things!

  Don’t use your debit card. You get charged the the moon when you use it over seas. Definitely look into travel cards

  hey. when i went travelling earlier this year i took a Travlex card (australia should have the same card) loaded with euros onto it. it was a 2% fee to load the money on and cost $5nzd each time cash withdraw, I then used cash and my visa for all other countries, my visa had less fees than my debit card. My westpac debit had the same 2% transfer rate wile overseas but the cash withdraw was$9nzd. Most places you will need cash and upfront to give your tour manager on the first few days for the optionals.

  I’ve used the commonwealth one the last two years I’ve travelled and it’s not bad but there are ATM fees.. so now I’ve changed to the Cash passport card which doesn’t have ATM fees and is pretty much the same in every other way.. plus I’ve heard some pretty good reviews about them and that they’re really quick at replacing lost of stolen cards and very helpful!
