Going to Greece , Italy and Malta in three weeks and wondering what is the best travel card to get in terms of low fees ??

I’m with commonwealth bank but I believe they charge hefty fees overseas. Was looking st a 28 degrees mastercard ? https://www.28degreescard.com.au/apply

  I recently opened a HSBC multi currency account. It free to open and use at most ATM's overseas. It's linked to a debit card and you convert the currency online anytime you want and when purchasing it takes it oug of that particular currency account.

      Traanfer funds to your AUD account, then go into your AUD account and do a tranfer to your USD account for example then it will come up with the rate and you can accept it.

      I'm sure that's what i did but took a while to work it out
