Don't Wait For Your Travel Money

Don't Wait for your Travel Money

Foreign CurrencyGetting 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.

As well as the "usual" currencies (US, Euro, UK Pounds, Japanese Yen and New Zealand Dollars) we keep a stock of what we refer to as the "Holiday" currencies such as Thai Baht, Indonesian Rupiah, Fiji Dollars, Vietnamese Dong, Hong Kong Dollars, Chinese Yuan (Renminbi), Egyptian Pounds and many more. We have access to over 50 currencies.

We know that you don't always just want large bills so we keep a range of denominations - US $1 bills (handy for tipping), UK and Euro 5s, Thai 100s etc. Also, if you need specific denominations we are able to order them in for you.

Sometimes there is a big run on a currency (for example a school group of 30 children might be going to Japan) so it is best to call us before you come in so that we can keep your money aside. Even if we don't have the currency you are after straight away we can get it in very quickly - usually in a couple of days at most.
