do the cash machines in cancun accept uk cards,such as solo or maestro?? because when i go out there i get paid bout 4 days after i arrive and might need the money.
Yes they do,but check with your bank before hand about charges, as some UK banks will mug you for using a card abroad.
This should help mate. http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/personal/current-accounts/student-service/student-service/more-info ** There is an ATM transaction fee of 1.5% (minimum £1.75) for withdrawing cash at Cirrus/Maestro cash machines worldwide. Foreign exchange rates are shown on your statement against each transaction inclusive of an exchange rate adjustment, currently 2.75%. Local cash machine owners may also apply a charge. Some cash machine owners in the UK may levy a charge. This will be shown on screen with an option to cancel the withdrawal if you want.
But I think this goes without saying that the amounts you will see on your balances surely will be in pesos...
haha,i can imagine because at the mo 1 uk pound equals over 2 dollars at the moment,which is pretty good,but peso's i think ill get very lost & confused with it,haha.
Standard rule of thumb over the last few years... 1 pound = 20 pesos. Unless something drastic happens between now and then, use the above for quick math.
