I'll be traveling to Brazil

[Jeff1 (Jefferson)]

Hi everyone,

I’ll be travelling to Brazil next month, and would like to know which currency I should choose to pay with?
Should I pay in Pounds or in Brazilian Reals?
Also, how much can I withdraw whilst I’m there?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you

With Monzo, pay in the local currency. You’ll get the best conversion rate that way.

How much you can withdraw depends on your account.

• £200 per month for Monzo’s standard account
• £400 per month with Monzo Plus
• £600 per month with Monzo premium

You can withdraw beyond those limits, but there’s a 3% fee if you do.

Great.

Thanks for replying

I am very fortunate to be going to Brazil in the coming days for the Olympics. I have never been before and never experienced the Olympics. Not even during London 2012. There is always a concern about travelling abroad and having a lot of cash on my person. Therefore a Mondo card is a great place to start with if a) there are cash points that accept Mastercard and b) Shops do the same. I will probably take both cash and Mondo and use Mondo as a back up but at least if I loose the card or anythi…

Big tip. Bradesco worked for cash withdrawals with a Revolut Visa and Monzo Master. Could not get either to work at Banco do Brazil. This was in 2022.
