Foreign currencies on the go – main image

Traveling around Europe without barriers and borders, exploring the most beautiful corners of our continent, sometimes we have to think about the trivial and sometimes a bit troublesome "technical" aspects of our journeys. One of them is the necessity to settle accounts for services and purchases in local currencies. It is worth betting on cheap currency and instant transfers in euro, which will allow us to save a lot.

Anyone who has gone on a trip abroad with only cash in their wallet already knows how many inconveniences there are. Keeping an eye on cash, the need for possible cash exchanges into local currencies in exchange offices or offices / banks on site at astronomically unfavorable rates are just two of them.

Virtualisation of payment processes can be a salvation and make your life incredibly easier. Of course, each of us can set up a foreign currency account even in the bank's mobile application and connect it with a payment card. This solution is convenient because we are not always exposed to exchange rate differences resulting from exchange rates and possible costs resulting from the tables of fees and commissions when making payments. It is much more convenient to simply have funds on a foreign currency account "tied" to the payment card and thus make payments abroad. But where to get / how to profitably buy funds in a given foreign currency?

Walutomat.pl - brilliantly simple currency exchange between users

12 years ago, a really simple and cheap way to exchange currencies appeared on the market - Walutomat.pl. This website is a solution that meets the needs of everyone who would like to purchase foreign currencies - regardless of their destination. Unlike previously known platforms, here are thousands of users who exchange funds with each other. The system matches the offers and automatically performs the exchange operation. The transaction can be carried out in just 15 minutes in an uncomplicated and anonymous way on favorable terms. In practice, it can be said that people who want to sell and purchase currencies in a safe way meet "virtually" on terms favorable for each party.

Instant transfers in EURO

And if we run out of currency for a spontaneous purchase or payment for the campground? Walutomat is the only Polish institution to offer instant transfers in EURO - SEPA Instant. The recipient in Italy or Germany can have a transfer in a few seconds on their account, e.g. on Sunday! Instant transfers in euro are one of the greatest advantages of Walutomat, especially for people traveling and doing business abroad.

How it's working?

We have the so-called a currency wallet, or an "electronic" moneybox that allows you to deposit and withdraw funds. It is a completely free service. Thanks to this, if we want to make an exchange operation, we do not have to wait for a transfer. For people who exchange currency regularly, who want to transfer funds directly to recipients or simply want to save time and do not need permanent foreign currency accounts at the bank, this tool is an ideal tool.

  1. We transfer funds for the exchange to Walutomat. We can use a quick transfer (Przelewy24, bank transfer, card, QR-code, Google Pay, BLIK or a renewable limit P24NOW.
  2. We choose the currency to which we want to exchange the deposited funds and we make the exchange. The following currencies and their combinations are available: PLN, EUR, GBP, USD, CHF, CZK, DKK, NOK, SEK.
  3. We choose the preferred method of currency pickup: On your currency account or sending them to another person, also to dozens of countries around the world.

We can carry out the entire process with one transaction. We can receive the mentioned amount immediately by return transfer to the second account - for example, we pay PLN and indicate to which account the funds in EUR are to be sent.

Benefits as far as the eye can see

A comparison of the currency exchange scheme and the costs associated with this process is best illustrated in the table below.

As you can see, the only cost in the case of Walutomat is the operator's commission, which, depending on the number of transactions and amounts, ranges from 0.2% to even 0.06% using the maximum possible discount. Considering the low costs, flexibility of the solution, virtualization of the entire process, but also the speed of transactions, this is an attractive package of benefits.

In addition, we can order an exchange at our own rate. By selecting the currently best rate, Walutomat will suggest the rate automatically so that the transaction is carried out quickly and efficiently. We can also enter our own, desired rate for a given offer. However, the exchange will only take place when another user agrees to the transaction at the proposed rate.

It is worth a try

Especially for mobile people, it is important that the platform has a dedicated application, thanks to which we can perform all operations from a smartphone or tablet. Details of the offer, a list of partner branches and current exchange rates can be checked at www.walutomat.pl.

America by car, part 6/10 - Lake Powell, Monument Valley
Today we noticed that we start to wake up later and later - 8:00 and go to bed later and later 2:00, which means - we are slowly switching to the American time J Lamp from the morning, which makes me and Gmurcia very happy, because yesterday we were a bit blown in Grand Canyon. Śniadanko, as in a roadside motel, quite modest, so Jeż bought some ham and cheese so that we would not starve. We didn't start until 10:30 and it was a completely unplanned place. We bought a rally to Antelope Slot Canyon - a paradise for photographers, a very picturesque land, simply a miracle !!!! I was furious since the morning, because there is a fate hanging over my photographic equipment from the beginning of the expedition - one lens completely broken, yesterday in the Grand Canyon the "fool" fell and something is not in contact there and this problem with the batteries ... Luckily we have one more long lens and the great equipment of Jeż J, everyone admired him today, and the photos from the canyon were really amazing. Before the route to Monument Valley, we veered off the Page route to the dam, and only then experienced a visual shock. Sometimes it is worth changing the direction of the road, because the beautiful Lake Powell has appeared in front of us, with many bays - almost like "Norwegian fjords", all surrounded, of course, by mountains. We got to Monument Valley - a place known to everyone from westerns, fortunately we arrived before sunset, red rock blocks of various shapes, resembling people, dogs and even ET, red earth and poor vegetation - a real film landscape. And then on the road, there are over 200 miles of journey ahead of us, this time a super driver GmurciaJ behind the wheel. She quickly learned what and how in this great car and she liked the cruise control the most. At 8:30 PM we got to Page, for dinner at a typical country pub with live music, where we tasted a real American steak - yummy !!!! The pubs are closed quickly, so at 10 p.m. we moved on, as it turned out later - on a road full of surprises. Marcin took the helm. Initially everything was going as planned, all the way to Kanab (about halfway from Page, our dinner - to Cedar City, Utah, where we were staying. Then we took one of the two options - a shorter route but through the mountains (shortcut) ... It was past midnight. With time it started to get a bit dramatic - we drove, drove, drove ... Our Chrysler, which had been burning decently so far, on the winding mountain roads began to eat like a dragon and the fuel pointer dynamically moved towards the letter E for Empty. The moon on the left like from a fairy tale, hmm, rather like from a horror movie it was timidly low above the trees, then seeing our progressive stress with the situation, decided to throw in his three pennies and went out behind the clouds. So it got completely dark, we were driving with minimal visibility, and it started ... The first one shouted Ela: "BEWARE! ROE!!!" On the left side, out of nowhere, a giant deer suddenly jumped out in front of the car's hood (Marcin braked suddenly) and then passed (flew over) on his right side, passing the mirror with his hoof by about 5 cm ... Terrified, but at the same time happy that we are in one piece, we moved on with minimum speed and soul on our shoulder ... From then on, we looked for glistening - sinister - eyes on the roadside. And finally we saw - a fox, more deer, some furry the size of a monstrous nutria (or maybe a beaver?), A few more deer ... To turn up the already very tense atmosphere - only a hitchhiker with a saw was missing ... And our target town of Cedar City was still not on the horizon. Imagine our surprise when it turned out that we were driving at an altitude of over 3,000 meters and that we were surrounded by heaps of snow. At one point we passed over a meter long snowdrifts… Finally, a signpost appeared, which confirmed that we were going at least in the right direction - after 1 am we drove to the dormant, Mormon Cedar City in Utah. It is not difficult to guess that after these emotions we dreamed of a bottle of cold beer, but what was our disappointment when, at one of the few open stations, we found out that, first of all: after 1 am (until 7 am) in the whole city will not sell us any alcohol, and secondly: the time has changed - watches an hour ahead ... With our noses on the fifth, we were looking for our motel, going back and forth on Main Street - nowhere to find it. Desperate, we finally stopped the police (exactly) and here a pleasant surprise once again - after a short exchange of views, the policeman patrolling the city agreed, huh, he himself suggested that he would lead us to the place! And so - almost escorted by the police, in the middle of the night, thousands of miles from home, we happily drove to the next motel on our route. A very young and handsome (as the girls said) the policeman said goodbye to us with the words - "BE SAFE, GUYS". After 3:30 we went to bed and it was the shortest night so far.
