Revolut or Monzo. Same thing really. Both topper, will save you a lot of money and hassle.
What’s the Post Office one like?
Revolut is decent. You preload it from your current account and then use it like a debit card. You can withdraw from ATM's or pay by card machine in shops, restaurants etc. You get the interbank exchange rate on the day of the transaction which will be better than the debit card exchange rate. Make sure you pay in local currency though. Don't let them "helpfully" convert it to £'s for you or you'll lose out big time.
Aye I've got that one as well, really good.Starling
What she said. Revolut is the way ahead. Pre loaded my card for America in 2 weeks time. Can't go wrong.Revolut is decent. You preload it from your current account and then use it like a debit card.

So not a hassle then, just a costYou'll be charged an international transaction fee for every withdrawal or purchase, plus another small fee around 1-2%. It soon adds up.
Nothing will compete with the Revolut/Monzo apps. They really are excellent.
I used to have a Caxton card but sacked it because the app was shit.
