PayPal is the best answer. For casual transactions get complete detail by opening the site: www.paypal.com\n\nFor commercial transactions you may have to open a Commercial Account. Just open the link to get details: https://www.paypal.com/row/mrb/pal=CGVVPQUALSURC\n\nYou can open both types of accounts FREE. The PayPal allows secure transactions and is a very reliable site.

The tourist rate tends to be par to the rate you will get in England but your better off due to competition of banks once you get to France.  The train stations, ports and airports are good starts but all banking institutions in France will be the best bet for you as they are competing for your pounds, dollars, etc.  You will get the best exchange rate by using your ATM card in a machine there and taking out the local currency. Whatever you have left over, make sure you exchange that before you leave an EU country (best bet is to exchange at the airport before flying back to the UK). \n\nGood luck.

Your best options are Demand Draft and Traveller's check. A cashiers check may be accepted by the Banks in Thailand. But you may have to wait a month or so to get it encashed. You also need a banck account to do that.

Ask if you may pay by money order in whatever currency they require...US$,  Euro, £sterling, or whatever they want. Then go to a Bank and buy it. You will have to wait 'till they get your money order before they send the goods to you.\n\nIf you go to www.XE.com you will get an idea of what you will have to pay.

the cheapest and fastest way I know of is to join the CAB or do a CeMap course.\n\nAll that's required for the former, is for you to call your local CAB (Citizen's Advice Bureau) and they'll send you the appropriate  form to fill in.\n\nIt starts off as voluntary work, with free travel and training in various areas, you'll pick the financial side of things, and I think you can even specialise intow what kind of financial advice you can do.\n\nYou'll have enough training and experience if you do this even part time within two years.\nAnother way of course  is to register to do CeMap training (just google it)\n\nit's relatively cheap compared to the benefits you'd get once you get a job or start business, the average person that gives mortgage advice for example gets an average £10,000 for every sale that results from a talk with him... and of course if you're employed, you don't have to make a sale to get paid, you just have to attend the interview and offer fairly average to good customer service!

Many retailers here in Britain seem to have abandoned the cheque as a method of payment this year.  Examples include fuel stations, convenience stores and some supermarkets.\n\nDebit cards are probably the most common form of payment nowadays, I think the Barclays Connect was the first of its type about 15 years ago.

Often for international transactions, services like PayPal are the way to go. because PayPal can instantly convert your money on the fly from the US dollar ($), to the British Pound (£), Japanese Yen (¥), or Euro (€)

If you dont have a bank account and you need to send someone a check/ cheque then get a money order. Walmart and local US postal services sell them. You pay a little extra on top of what amount you need it in. Just go there and say you need to buy one and tell them how much you want it for. It is guaranteed money better than a personal check because it can't bounce/ not be valid.

Yes it is a pain.\n\nUnfortunately just got to be pragmatic, smile and take the cheque. A customer is a customer. Just hope they spend more next time.  In business there will always be some expenses - this is just one of them. \n\nDo you object to the bank charges for paying cheque in?\n Or is it just the time involved with cheque handling?\n\nIf bank charges issue - consider alliance and Leicester business account (post office) think it's free to bank cheques - (please confirm could be wrong). Also we used to have an agreement with a high street bank that they would not charge us for banking cheques but forfeit interest on current account - you could try this.\n\nNowadays we still get a few cheques, but also have electronic card handling. Many advantages - cheaper than bank charges, faster and can use cash back and sell phone-top up etc.

American green backs,but cashless transactions are more popular and can be done all over , I personally like to hold my money in my hand.\n\nBeing prepared from the get-go helps make things easier. Carrying an ATM card, a credit card, traveller's cheques and American (the most accepted world wide) cash gives you pretty much all the options you need
