Cash Machines Borovets

Just a note to all.I used the cash machine at the bank opposite the gondola and the one at the Rila. In both instances I drew out 100 lev. I have just looked on my statement and the machine at the Rila cost £2.06 more for the same amount.

Was that just down to changes in the exchange rate between the times of the two transactions or was the international rate the same and the Rila one took a bigger cut? Looks like the £ to Lev rate has been fairly volatile recently http://www.exchange-rates.org/history/BGN/GBP/G/30

Mostly down to the commission taken at the rila as the rate had only varied from 2.206 to 2.205

Hi dbut,

£2-06 is nearly a night out, in White Magic unless S.P.has left his wallet in the room.

I guess you need every pound you can get for the doller exchange in Banff!!
