I changed some pounds last week in Benidorm and got one euro twenty one cents but had to try three offices to get that

Travelex stopped online transactions due to hacking. Face to face transactions only.

there was a comment that it was a problem with travelex on tesco’s web site they prob all use the same set up

Travelex being held to ransom by hackers

The foreign exchange firm has been forced to turn off all computers and switch to pen and paper.

Ok after but half an hour walking around I found an exchange office that gave me 1.25 euros to the pound but I must say it took about 20 minuets to get that , I seams the more pounds you want to change the better price you get.
