Your Post Office Euro card can be used anywhere where Visa Electron is accepted which includes any ATM displaying the Visa sign worldwide.

We recommend that you buy a currency card in the official local currency of where you are going as it will be easy for you to calculate how much you are spending a day and are a lot safer than carrying cash. Just withdraw from any ATM as you need it, cutting down the risk of losing or your money getting stolen.

Note: When using your card abroad, if a retailer offers to convert the transaction into another currency for you, say ‘no thank you'.  It is better to accept the local currency because you will not be charged for any additional exchange rates to convert the transaction

If you got your foreign currency at the Post Office and you are not travelling again you can sell back leftover notes without paying any commission at any Post Office branch by showing your receipt, so keep it in a safe place.

• Buy it back at the same rate that you bought it for
• Not charged any commission
• Also buy back the Travellers Cheques that you purchased from them
