Consumers only think of their bank when they order Hungarian Forints with euros. But Cambiator recommends that you assess the possibility of foreign exchange suppliers. And the reason for this is because almost all banks in Spain apply on you a fixed fee of 3% (with a minimum of between 6 and 10 euros) in addition to a margin on the Hungarian Forints that you obtain from them.
On the other hand, the currency suppliers that proclaim no commission are more attractive to your wallet since they do not impose on you this fee.
Cambiator compares always for you the euro to Hungarian Forint currency exchange rates online and in your city so that you can choose the alternative that best suits you.
To appreciate how foreign exchange works, think of any retail shop that offers a product to you as a consumer. The retailer buys products from a provider named wholesaler at a purchase price, to which it includes a profit margin.
The gap between the consumer price at which you buy in that shop (eg your forints from Hungary) and what it cost the store to get those forints from Hungary is the benefit it obtains in that foreign exchange.
Nevertheless there is a distinction in foreign exchange with other businesses. In general, foreign currency banknotes (forints from Hungary in this case) pass on from hand to hand, that is, they are not consumed.
For that reason, it may be the case that a bank or currency supplier purchases forints from Hungary from a traveler who enters Spain (obtaining a margin) and those same forints from Hungary become yours when you order that currency (new profit margin).
