Do you have any receipts in sterling or dollars?
If so open an account in one of those currencies.

I simply use my aib account. The rate is quite close to the mid market rate and then they charge €15 fee.
I'm not sure whether I still have a particularly good margin I negotiated many years ago or this is now how they do it as standard.
If the payment is for a small amount under $1000, I use a credit card.
Many others will use places like transfermate, but if it's not overly frequent and the rate you bank gives is within .5% of mid market, it's probably not worth it.

Yes, already have a sterling account - AIB. Just was wondering if there was a better option. Presuming the credit card rate is worse than a bank one. Had a look at transferwise but wasn't sure if it was a better option
