Paying the local currency with your own cards seems simple and works?

If “your own cards” are with non-neobanks, they tend to offer poor exchange rates, and add commission on top.

Yes, zero Forex fees cards work. But the terminal detects that your home currency is different to the local currency and you still have to choose the right option.

For example, just the other day I fat fingered the screen and chose the wrong currency.
