Foreign Exchange

This is a member-only service.

Your account must be fully up-to-date before transacting.

Are you planning the trip of a lifetime?

We've got you covered if you need foreign exchange.

If you're travelling to the UK or the USA, you can buy your Sterling or Dollars in all of our offices.

You can also order other currencies or larger USD and GBP amounts using our Click & Collect option.

Members, please note your account must be active & have up-to-date proof of address and proof of ID before we can process any FX transaction.

There is no commission fee if you order your currency online. If you order before 12 pm, we will endeavor to have your currency available the next working day.

You will receive an SMS or phone call when your currency arrives. (remember to check opening hours for the office you’ll collect from).

You can pay by cash or card for your currency and payment will be taken when you collect your foreign exchange.
