Maybe try the prepaid debit card from an post.fill it heat with euro,and withdraw in usd once you get there.
I imagine you'll probably hit daily transaction limits with a Irish debit card which might make things awkward. Think the limit is €2500 on my card.
Revolut doesn't seem to have a spending limit. Note you get a worse rate on weekends from Revolut. Maybe a Wise account and card would also work but I don't know if they have limits. I'd expect better FX rates from both Revolut and Wise than an Irish bank though.
I'd make sure I had a back up plan though in case the transaction get declined and you can't fix it while there - getting support from Revolut/Wise is not something I'd rely on on the spot.
Just answered my own question - bank drafts seem to be alive and well. That might be the way to go rather than worrying on the day whether the transaction is going to go through via Revolut/Wise.Never struck me that there would be a daily spending limit on the debit card. I assumed that if the money was in my account I would be able to spend it! I'd nearly be tempted to take cash at this stage!
Hadn't heard of Wise so thanks for that, I will check them out.
I wonder if the old-fashioned bank draft is still a thing?
