Every figure is read from a bank's own published board, or derived from a margin it discloses — named in the evidence column, never inferred. We do not rank by any commercial relationship; the order below is the rate, and nothing else.
Which method costs least
This is the choice worth the most money, and the one most comparisons skip. Cash desks sit several points above card and transfer rates in every country we measure.
| Method | Cheapest here | Costs you | How we know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy banknotes at a branch The bank's own banknote board — the widest spread of the three, everywhere we measure. |
An Post Money | 0 EUR | read from www.anpost.com |
| Transfer / account conversion What the bank converts at when the money moves between accounts. |
Bank of Ireland | 0 EUR | read from personalbanking.bankofireland.com |
| Pay by card The rate your card issuer converts at, plus the fee it discloses. |
N26 | 0 EUR | derived from the disclosed margin |
Cash withdrawals at an ATM are left out on purpose: they carry a per-withdrawal fee we do not collect, so listing them beside the others would flatter them.
Every bank's cash / banknotes rate
If you have to use a branch anyway, this is the order to try them in — 3 banks, cheapest first. The dearest takes 10.0% more than the cheapest.
