Buying foreign cash online:

Buy foreign cash online through the Travelex website. Select the store or airport terminal, and pick when you want to collect the currency. The rate is locked in at the time the order is confirmed.

  • Combined maximum order value in a 21 day period is AU.

Online foreign currency payment methods

Pay using a Visa or Mastercard credit or debit card or BPAY. The funds won't be available to collect right away, it's at least one day before your foreign cash is ready if you pay by a credit card and three days with BPAY. Credit card and debit card payments are made at the time of ordering the foreign currency while BPAY payments must be made within 12 hours of confirming the quote.

Paying with a card

Debit or credit card transactions will incur a card surcharge; Mastercard debit charges 0.77%, Mastercard credit charges 0.94%, Visa debit charges 0.72% and Visa credit charges 1%. In addition, for credit card purchases, your card issuer may charge a separate cash advance fee. These fees are non-refundable.

BPAY payments

These do not attract a card surcharge and the BPAY payment must come from your account.

How do I pick up my foreign currency?

Select where you want to collect your cash when order currency online. Choices are the airport or from a Travelex outlet. Most major airports in Australia are covered and a quick search for Travelex outlets shows locations all over Australia.

If you paid for the foreign currency by credit card or debit card, you'll need to provide the following when you collect your cash.

  • The card the order was paid for with,
  • A print out of the confirmation of the order or your order reference number,
  • Identification, like your passport or driver's licence.

You'll need to sign when the cash is collected and the person who made, and paid, for the order has to be the person who picks up the money.

      Hi Graham,

      Thanks for reaching out to Finder.

      Travelex Foreign currency is a money transfer service and not a credit card. You may refer to our list of credit card offers to compare your options. You can use our comparison table to help you find the card that suits you. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button to apply.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.

      Hope this clarifies!

      With Care,
      Nikki

      Hi Mike,

      Thank you for leaving a question.

      Both methods are good and easy ways of converting your AUD dollars into foreign currency. Depending on the exchange rate provided by both methods would be the determining factor as to what you would choose. Hope this helps!

      Cheers,
      Reggie

      Hi John,

      Thanks for your question.

      This page is for international money transfers, so if you want to send money to an account overseas, you can use this link.

      In terms of exchanging physical money into another currency, please visit your local Travelex exchange center.

      We also have a section about travel money that could help you with your decision.

      All the best,
      Shirley
