Visa and Mastercard debit cards are widely accepted and you\u2019ll also be able to withdraw cash on your card if you need to. <\/p><p>However, the downside of using a UK debit card overseas is that many providers will charge a fee. For example, you could be charged a foreign transaction fee of between 2.75% and 2.99% whenever you make a purchase, plus a further 2% to 2.75% for withdrawing cash. For this reason, it\u2019s worth looking for a debit card that won\u2019t charge these fees before you go abroad.<\/p><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Quick and easy to use in shops and restaurants<\/li>\n                                    <li>Can withdraw cash at ATMs<\/li>\n                                    <li>Saves you carrying around lots of cash<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Not all establishments accept debit cards<\/li>\n                                    <li>Some debit cards charge high foreign usage fees<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<a class=\"more-link-arrow\" title=\"Compare\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/debit-cards-low-foreign-transaction-fees\">Compare UK debit cards with low transaction fees<\/a><h4>Prepaid travel cards<\/h4><p>A prepaid travel card can be used in much the same way as a debit or credit card, but you load it with currency before you leave. Many prepaid cards let you load them with euros in advance, meaning you can lock in a set exchange rate. Should you spend what\u2019s on your card, you can simply top up again while you\u2019re travelling. <\/p><p>Prepaid travel card providers use either the interbank exchange rate or the rate set by Mastercard or Visa, or one of these with a fee on top. Depending on the card you choose, some won\u2019t charge you for cash withdrawals.<\/p><div class=\"fin-pros-cons\">\n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--check-circle\">\n                                    <li>Can be good for budgeting<\/li>\n                                    <li>Not connected to your bank account if your card is stolen<\/li>\n                                    <li>Can help you avoid foreign usage fees<\/li>\n                                    <li>You won't always need a credit check<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    \n            <div class=\"fin-pros-cons__section\">\n            <h4 class=\"fin-pros-cons__heading\">Cons<\/h4>\n            <ul class=\"icon-list icon-list--x-circle\">\n                                    <li>Prepaid cards are not usually accepted for car hire or at petrol stations<\/li>\n                                    <li>Fees may apply for topping up your card or for a replacement<\/li>\n                                    <li>Some ATMs charge a fee<\/li>\n                            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<a class=\"more-link-arrow\" title=\"Compare\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/travel-money\/prepaid-cards\">Compare prepaid cards for travelling<\/a><h4>Credit cards<\/h4><p>Similar to debit cards, using a credit card while you\u2019re on holiday in Belgium can be quick and convenient.

Just make sure it\u2019s one that doesn\u2019t charge extortionate foreign usage fees and if you\u2019re using a credit card, remember to pay off the balance in full each month to avoid paying interest. <\/p><p>It\u2019s also well worth taking a little cash with you to ensure you don\u2019t get caught out if certain establishments don\u2019t accept card payments. Should you need to withdraw more cash, keep in mind that it\u2019s best to use a prepaid card or debit card and not a credit card.<\/p><h3>Frequently asked questions<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\"><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000000\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000000\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">What does dynamic currency conversion mean?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000000\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">Dynamic currency conversion is when a retailer converts your purchase into pounds sterling rather than keeping it in the local currency. When this occurs, the retailer will usually offer a poorer exchange rate, meaning you\u2019ll pay more than necessary for your purchase. If you\u2019re given the option of paying in the local currency or pounds sterling, always pick the local currency.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/li><li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n    <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n      <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion0000000001\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion0000000001\">\n        <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">What is the Belgian currency?<\/span>\n        <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n          <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n        <\/svg>\n      <\/button>\n    <\/h4>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"accordion0000000001\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n    <div class=\"accordionContent\">Belgium\u2019s currency is the Euro.
