Studying abroad in London - How do I handle my money bank-wise?I'm going to study abroad in London in the fall and I was wondering what should I do like ATM-wise? I have a Bank of America account but I don't want to be charged massively with fees, is there a compatible bank in London? Or should I put my fees into another American bank that has a compatible bank in... | |
Lucky, I just studied in England... I basically did everything online, I used my bank account at home, but it charged me 5$ every time I withdrew. I used my credit card (Visa chip - oh, be advised that chip credit cards are what they use over there... they get really confused with the swipe card). I just made sure that I transferred money back onto my credit card after using it. My friend managed to get her bank to stop charging her for withdrawing money as well. We're from Canada though.
