Support Tracey - C/C conversion rates are very similar to cash rates. Unfortunately they slug you heavily with an ATM usage fee plus a percentage based conversion fee.
I've discovered a gem, Wizard Clear Advantage Mastercard. NO annual fees ever, NO Atm fees or cash advance fees anywhere around the world. I use it solely for my o'seas travel, deposit money into it before I depart, thus avoiding interest charges as well. Have used it all over Bali & Lombok.
I'ts a beauty. Just google it and apply online.
Hope this may save someone some money.
