When it comes to banking and managing your finances, utilizing local banks can offer convenience, but keep an eye on service fees. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted, making cash less of a necessity. However, for the best exchange rates and lower fees, online money transfer services like Wise or OFX are often beneficial for transactions both domestically and internationally. It’s recommended to exchange a small amount of money upon arrival for immediate expenses like transport, while relying on online services for larger transfers or ongoing living expenses to maximize your savings.
