I bank in the UK with Starling however i'm put off using it abroad by the fact you cant hold foreign currency. I know its an extremely minor inconvenience but there was something so good about travelling with Revolut last year in America. I could see I had $100 in my account for example so didn't have to question what that was in £. I think what I might do is pre-load my revolut card with X amount of Euros before my upcoming trip then use my starling card if I run those funds dry to avoid the fees.
I’m thinking of getting Chase debit card but the limit they offer in withdrawing could be better. I was also thinking of Barclaycard Rewards card for emergencies, and just-in-cases. I already have a Barclaycard but not the kind I can use to travel fee-free. I just can’t make up my mind which one to get. Would it be less hassle to get the debit card, rather than the credit? Great video by the way! You are so helpful! Liked and subscribed👍🏼
Hello, great video - I've recently subscribed! If I get the Halifax Clarity card and use it to pay for something online e.g. Paris Eiffel Tower entry tickets on their official website. Would this work in my favour?
My son is going to Japan/Bali/Thailand a month in each place travelling from the UK .. Starling sounds good ? Resolute ? Would you take Yen from the UK ?
Hey! Starling would be a great choice, your son will get MasterCard's exchange rates which are really good and he can withdraw up to £300/day for fee.. He'll probably need to withdraw more cash in Bali and Thailand so that will be very helpful. ^Jonny
I would advise to withdraw the money while he's in Japan, and from a local bank branch. He's going to get MasterCard's rates with his Starling Card, and potentially just pay a fixed ATM fee, but he may even get it for free at certain banks. That's what I would do to ensure I get the best FX rate. Did you watch the part of the video where I discussed dynamic currency conversion (th-cam.com/video/3iiO9Ldnbww/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BAftWNxTHwF19EVg&t=129) ? Make sure he's aware that if an ATM or card machine asks him if he wants to pay in the local currency or GBP that he accepts the local currency EVERY TIME. This way his bank card takes care of the exchange rate and not the ATM or card machine provider.
Hey Monito, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel

do they provide card internationally or only for Europe?
Nice video, but charles schwab debt card is a best for travel. No ATM fees anywhere around the world
Short and informative video. Keep up the good work!

@@Monitodotcomthank you and what about taking Yen from the UK was worried the exchange rate would be lower in Japan ?
He’s leaving on 2/11 assuming this isn’t enough time to receive a physical card ?
@@Noor-kp1yb More than enough time, you should receive the card in just a couple of days from opening the account.
