Frequently asked questions
Is it better to use a card or withdraw cash for Israeli Shekel?
For most travelers, a card with no foreign transaction fee is the simplest and cheapest option - provided you always choose to pay in Israeli Shekel (the local currency) rather than British Pound. Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which typically adds 3-5% on top. If you need cash, withdraw from ATMs in-country rather than exchanging at airports.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
