An ATM card is the easiest way to get local currency in Europe. ATM machines are just as prevalent in Europe as in the United States. An ATM card that draws from a checking (as opposed to savings) account is required. • Do I need to tell my bank I will be in Europe. You should notify your bank that you are in Europe so they do not cancel your card, or deactivate it.
