Always notify all banks of your travel plans and have their number handy with you - sometimes they lock the account even if you notify them. I have ordered Euro through my bank, it's easy, as has been explained.
Regarding ATMs, they may have a lower transaction limit than your bank card. Transaction will be rejected, often without explanation. I've always purchased Euros ahead of my trips to Europe. I'm also probably the only traveler who brings all of my Euros with me thank you, Rick Steve's money belt! I've always used Wells Fargo to purchase my Euros I'm not an account holder with them. I've purchased Euros from them 2 ways - throught the website they FedEx the money to you and directly at a branch go to the website for which branches near you carry currency.
I consider the rate fair for the convenience way better exchange rate than AAA. I have some Neapolitan friends who would like to know your next trip plans and where you will be staying. They are especially interested if you intend to ride crowded buses at any time during your stay. So, you may need to take euros from the ATMs in Italy on a daily basis to load up on enough cash for that, and to compensate for the days when you can't find an ATM or at least an ATM with cash in it.
You can also prepare in advance by taking significant euro cash with you to Italy, but make sure to keep it secure in your money belt under your clothing. I paid the same exchange rate for euro bought in the US and for euro bought in Italy.
Start with your bank, you pay for euro with money from your Account. If you have cash you want to exchange, your bank may recommend a reputable place that exchanges cash. In Italy use your debit card at banks' ATMs to obtain euro. Remember to give dates of out-of-country debit card use to your bank. If you have cash you want to exchange, go to Poste Italiane, they will ask to see your passport.
Absolutely buy euro before you leave. After 13 hours flight time, it's nice to be euro-ready. Keep euro for snacks and a meal, and, hehe, maybe a good stiff drink handy inside a small light shoulder bag like RS new soft travel pouch, put euro for a taxi ready in an outside pocket of the pouch, if your lodging wants payment at check-in, put that amount in a RS neck wallet, use a scarf to hide the ribbons if they show, then put any reserve euro in a RS money belt around your waist.
Have enough euro to tide you over for several days until you can locate a bank ATM. Wear the neck wallet and money belt inside your clothes of course. Hi Cheri, I checked at Chase bank in Seattle. There is no charge for exchanging currency and getting some Euros to have on hand, but you do need to have an account there. Hope that helps! How do I send a wire transfer?
