ICE, www.iceplc.com, the leading international currency expert is warning holidaymakers setting off for an extended break this May Bank Holiday, to check the rates of currency providers online to get the best rates of exchange and avoid unnecessary charges on bank cards using ATMs abroad. While some high street and airport bureaux are competitive, travellers will have the advantage of being able to shop around online if they don't leave it to the last minute.. This could save them both time and money. ICE will deliver currency the next day if ordered by 3.30pm and delivery is free if the currency ordered is £400 or over. Saturday delivery can be guaranteed for an additional £2.

This week ICE's online rates of exchange for home delivery on the Euro and US Dollar were very competitive.

Exchange Rates sourced from websites between 12pm and 1pm on the 13.05.09. Any delivery charges are removed from the Sterling amount prior to conversion.

Andrew Hamilton, Head of Marketing for ICE said: "There's a lot of confusing information about how to get the best deal on currencies. We therefore urge travellers to shop around online and check the best rates against delivery charges and any commission payable. With ICE customers can be assured a speedy service, offering highly competitive rates with no commission."
