I'm planning to travel to Lebanon in next couple of months. From what I read on Internet, cash is the only trusted mean of payment.
However, I checked Revolut rates (I own the card) and it appears their rates are very close to black market rate.[source]. Also it's possible to spend/withdraw LBP according to their website. [source]
So in principle if I use Revolut card to withdraw LBP (in an ATM that accepts Mastercard or Visa), I should be able to get LBP at a close rate similar to unofficial markets. I'm not looking for a super precise conversion. As long as it's (+/-) 5% of black market, it's fine for me. I just don't want to carry euro around with me.
Am I being too stupid for believing this?
