****USE YOUR DELETE KEY******
Can anyone suggest a good way to transfer $US to the daughter in Spain (euros) without getting raped by exchange fees, wire transfer fees, etc.? At the airport on Monday we bought this pre-paid debit card thing, and I put some money on it, and had to add some today so she could pay a rent deposit, etc. The fee on that was pretty high (like 4.5%) so I am trying to figure out a better long-term method. Set up a local bank acct and transfer $$->euros somehow, avoiding wire xfer fees? Keep using this debit card thing? She will be there for 6 months, I don't want to keep getting screwed by the banks. (OK that last wish is probably futile, but you get the idea)
The banks here are totally useless in assisting with this. One would think it would be a simple thing to do, since people do move around and travel these days.
