Euro

Since its inception on the 1st January 1999 the €uro has been successfully adopted by 17 out of 27 members of the European Union with the most recent being Estonia who became a member on the 1st January 2011

Popular holiday destinations such as Spain, France, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Cyprus and Malta have all adopted the single currency which has made it easier for regular travellers to familiarise themselves with the look and feel of the euro notes and coins.

Additionally and despite the normal fluctuation of the currency market, holidaymakers have also found it easier to compare prices for goods throughout the European marketplace.

When purchasing euro, travellers can easily compare the price – the exchange rate - of what is now widely regarded as the second major currency of the world, behind the US Dollar.

This makes it easier for you to recognise a good deal so we at eurochange work extremely hard to ensure that you will receive great value each and every time you purchase euro from us. eurochange has over 35 years of experience in handling your travel money needs so you can trust us to give you a great rate every day – commission free, of course.

As a major currency the euro also benefits from being available as travellers cheques or is easily loaded onto a prepaid euro travel money card.

These convenient and alternative methods of payment have separate terms and conditions that you need to be aware of, please read about them under the separate product descriptions.
