Following a successful six-month trial, ATM organisation Link has announced that they
are to increase the number of UK ATMs that dispense foreign currency. As well as
giving out UK Sterling, cash points throughout the country will be adapted to allow
dollars and euros to be withdrawn by holders of UK debit and credit cards. In the
initial trial, travellers were enthusiastic about the ability to withdraw foreign
currency without the need to make a special trip to the bank, travel agent or bureau
de change. The convenience factor, rather than favourable exchange rates or commission
fees seemed to be most important to travellers who took advantage of the trial
