Amazon Currency Conversion

If you are spending quite a bit online at Amazon or other UK websites you should think about signing up for an account at N26 – the online bank.

The N26  debit card has no fees when spending in non-Euro currencies. The main Irish banks will charge you as much as 3% on all non-euro debit card purchases.

Another debit card that does not charge fees when spending outside the Eurozone is available from Revolut.
