Where to Buy Travel Money in the UK

When it comes to where to buy travel money in the UK, you can choose the high street, the airport, your bank or an online specialist. Online providers such as Travel FX generally offer the best value, with a commission-free model and the rate shown before you order, whether you need euros, US dollars or something less common.

The airport is the costly option

Airport bureaux are convenient but rarely competitive. Ordering ahead online almost always leaves you with more currency for your pounds.

What to compare

Check for commission, look at the after-fees rate, and consider delivery or collection options and independent reviews. These reveal which provider really offers the best deal.

A trusted choice

Travel FX has traded for over 18 years, offers more than 60 currencies and holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews.

Buy your travel money online in advance and you keep both the cost and the hassle down.
