How to get foreign currency abroad without paying high commissions? Today we will explain you how, in our step by step Guide!

Which of us has never traveled to a country that make you pay in local currency and had to change foreign currency before or after a trip, to not get stuck when making a purchase?

Among the several headaches that we have to solve when taking a pleasure or business trip, probably the exchange of foreign currency is one of the most annoying and stressful situations for a traveler who wants to enjoy his holidays.

That is why many travelers prefer to get foreign currency before leaving, to have at least enough money to pay for a taxi or for immediate expenses, especially when they are going to a country where it is not easy to pay by credit card.

Another frequent problem, when we get back from vacation, is to have a large amount of foreign currency that obviously, in most cases, will not be accepted in our home country.

To overcome this problem, most travelers go to the exchange offices in the airports, for example, although they have to pay high commissions for the change of money, in addition to the nuisance of having to move and keep an eye on the budget, so as not to have to change money every time.

So, how to get rid of the stress caused by these annoying technical obstacles?

Fortunately, now tourists have a new way of paying in foreign countries with unusual coins and easily get rid of the foreign currencies they own.

Cryptocurrencies give wings!

A few weeks ago, Bitnovo had already announced the start of a collaboration with Crystal Media Shops, a famous network of electronics and new technologies stores, present in the most important and busiest airports in Spain.

Thanks to this agreement, passengers departing or landing at the airports of Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga and Palma de Mallorca will be able to change the euros they have with cryptocurrencies.

Bitnovo offers a wide selection of virtual currencies, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Monero, Ethereum, Ripple, etc.

With the cryptocurrencies voucher service, available in the main airports of Spain, Bitnovo wants to offer a service that facilitates the exchange of euros with cryptocurrencies, to those passengers who, for example, can not spend euros in their home country, avoiding going to the exchange offices and allowing to buy abroad directly with digital currencies.

The idea of spreading the philosophy of the fast and easy purchase of cryptocurrencies is an initiative that is being extended little by little in the main international airports and we hope that Bitnovo will continue contributing to the project to democratize, in a simple and secure way, the offer of Bitcoins and the major digital currencies, making them more and more accessible to everyone.
