For any foreign currency transactions I use Wise. Far better rates than a bank.

I have an HSBC account, well card that doesn't charge currency fees. It was a free add on to a basic account. I'm sure other banks must do the same.

Even on transfer?

Halifax clarity credit card is good for transactions whilst abroad or withdrawing money.

I'd second using Wise. I've been using them for a long time for transfers, purchases from abraod and while living abroad. Nothing but good experiences both technically and with their customer service.
