Become a Fan of The Currency Exchange in Wollongong on Facebook

The Currency Exchange in Wollongong was proud to be a finalist in the Crown St Mall Retail and Business awards in the "General Services" category - and we awere even happier when we won the category! This was under our previous name of Travelex.

The judges comments were: "The modern, beautifully designed, minimalist premises of Travelex, focus all the attention of this business at its very core - that is, providing a quick efficient and accurate financial service. Digital exchange rate screens at the front of the store initially facilitate the transaction, with the most professional staff completing the service inside. Here is a business which knows all about what is needed and specializes in giving great service!" 

Allison was also a finalist in the "Employee of the Year" award, unfortunately she didn't win, but joint second is really good as well! The team at The Currency Exchange in Wollongong would like to thank all our customers and everyone who was involved in the design and building of our new store - we couldn't have acheived this without you.

We were also finalists in the 2009 Illawarra Business Chamber awards in both the "Small Business" and "Retail and Personal Services" categories!

It was a great honour to be finalists and whilst we were not the overall winner we'd like to thank all of our customers for their support and our dedicated team for their hard work - without whom this would not have been possible.

Fee Free Currency Exchange

At The Currency Exchange in Wollongong Central we don’t charge any commission to change your money into another currency. This is both for foreign cash and for the Travelex Cash Passport Prepaid Travel Money Cards.

Prepaid Travel Money Cards

Travelex Cash Passport Cards are prepaid travel money cards that are available in 7 currencies. Originally created as a replacement for travellers cheques they are a safe and convenient way to take, and spend, your money overseas.

Don't Wait for your Travel Money

Getting your foreign currency organised is often the last item on your list of things to do before going away so the last thing you want to hear is that your bank doesn't have any in stock (or only has large denominations) and that it may take a week to get it in for you. As Currency Exchange specialists we keep a stock of currencies - at least 20 and usually over 30 - on hand at all times, in a range of denominations.

We Want your Foreign Cash

We really want you left over travel money!

To prove this we make sure that our buy rates (rate to buy from you) beat all of the bank rates - plus we don't charge any fees. We regularly check the banks' rates to make sure that you will always receive more money for your foreign cash with us than anywhere else.
