The government must now seek parliamentary approval before triggering article 50 to leave the E.U

They lost the vote by 8-3

This means there must be a bill and an act of parliament before they begin the process..

Anything that's that close the the xe rates will benefit me when I chop in the Disney money this week, they also supply a back up card in case of loss.

I've got a Halifax Clarity card which offers the same XE rates but I'm still using Euros I bought in summer of 2015 at the moment so not feeling it, yet.

To be honest I had never heard of Revolut till just now. If I went anywhere needing a massive spend I would get a cash passport. According to Martin Lewis it is currently the best one to get so will think about that

As I said I don't use anything like that currently. I don't need to. The rates in Spain (when you use the ATM's) are always higher than the UK. My flexplus card doesn't put an exchange rate 'fee' on purchases either...so happy enough for now. Also have a bank account in Spain (out of necessity) I have a debit card linked to that..
