Hello!

When I travel in Mexico, the banks have an official exchange rate and don’t charge commission.
Is that the same in Spain?

Do the banks accept dollars readily?
Do they charge commission?
How is the exchange rate compared to what you see on TV?

Thank you!

No, in Spain you have to pay a commission in any bank

Do the banks accept dollars readily?

They sure do

Do they charge commission?

Yes they do

How is the exchange rate compared to what you see on TV?

It depends if you change cash or travellers cheques for example. In any case, especially now, everybody is extremely cautious and therefore exchange rates to the dollar or pound are not good at all.

Thank you!
