Foreign Currency

What’s one of the first things we need to have when we step into a foreign country? Local cash!

Why not order your foreign currency ahead of time before leaving Australia and take the hassle out of queues at the airport?

By partnering with Western Union, we can offer you Australia’s largest range of currencies and denominations. Major currencies can be made available for pick up – normally in less than one week.

We can also re-purchase your unused foreign currency when you return from your overseas trip!

Hints & tips

Security

For security reasons, it is recommended that you do not carry around large amounts of local cash. As an alternative to cash, the Cash Passport is a safe and convenient way to carry your holiday money.
