Dear Expert

We are travelling to Europe in March. I found the company crown currency exchange on this site, they offer the best rate for euros at 1.10 euro to the pound for prepurchasing currency at this early stage.

If we pay by credit card, will the transaction be protected by the credit card company in the event of the company's insolvency or none deliverance of the money?

Many thanks

kind regards

It is questionable whether or not it will be covered. The transaction may be done as a cash advance in which case it wont be covered. Personally I would not deal with a company using the name "crown". The name implies connections with the government or the crown. Maybe that seems a small deception but it's a deception none the less. A rate of 1.10 euros to the pound is very very good.

Thanks Max

Just checked the bbc currency ticker, the pound is now at 1.11 euros so things are maybe looking up. Been reading a financial report that says the pound is undervalued, maybe if we could get a change of Government before March might do better still.
