Can I get Euro at a Regions bank?

As a few know I'm headed to Europe and I would like some cash to take with me, is there a Regions bank in Baton Rouge or surrounding areas that will do an exchange? I would prefer to do it this way rather than an exchange at the Airport.

You should be able to order some at any branch. They don't keep any on hand in the branches.

As you may already be aware, there are credit cards that don't charge foreign exchange fees. It might not be worth your time to drive to the bank for it.

Every bank will have them. Use the bank that you have for better exchange fees. I never trust the ATMs abroad. Always have to have some cash on hand

It's all over the board.

I would just go ahead and get a bit from the bank and call it done. For the rest of your trip just use a debit card or credit card, the are even more ubiquitous in Europe than the US. Top up with ATM as necessary, just remember you WILL pay a fee to convert back to US dollars unless at your local bank.

I got a Schwab debit card solely for international travel, which I do about once a year. They refund all ATM fees, even international. I kept my ATM receipts when I went to Peru, expecting issues with the automated refund from the sketchy globalnet machines in some small towns, but within about a week the refund appeared. I never have gotten money ahead of time because I hate the holding risk of potential theft, ripoff, or the fun scenario when you're heading home and deciding whether to sell the currency for 70 cents on the dollar or buy random shite in the airport.
