Quick Tips

Avoid currency exchange kiosks at airports

Although exchanging currency at an airport kiosk is quick and easy, it is also one of the most expensive ways to get your hands on some foreign currency. Airport kiosks typically offer high exchange rates due to low competition and the fact that they know travellers are in a hurry and might not have time to shop around for a better deal.

Use an exchange that does not charge commission or fees

Refusing to pay commissions and fees is a great way to save money when exchanging currency. You should always inquire about these extra fees before committing to a transaction to avoid being surprised by any unexpected charges.

Get your foreign currency from a reputable source

When it comes to your hard-earned cash, you should only entrust it to the most reputable and reliable money changers. Crown Currency Exchange is a name you can trust, with nearly 20 years of experience in the industry.
