The pluses and minuses of overseas currency exchanges

Currency Exchange (Okay for Convenience but Can Be Pricey)

Why They´re Convenient

They’re common at airports, hotels, and popular tourist spots.

They´re useful if you need cash upon arrival and haven’t exchanged in advance.

Tips

Avoid airport kiosks; they often have the worst exchange rates.

Compare rates and fees at multiple exchange bureaus.

Look for exchange offices that don’t charge a service fee.

Watch Out For

Unfavorable exchange rates and hidden fees.

Low transparency in some places (they may display an attractive rate but charge high fees).
