1. What are Street Rates?
Street Rates is a new term that we actually felt the need to invent ourselves.
Too many currency providers are now NOT quoting actual “WALK IN OFF THE STREET” rates on their websites.
The rates that these companies show are either ONLINE ONLY rates or you need to complete a “CLICK u0026amp; COLLECT or CLICK u0026amp; SELL” request to get them.
We don’t believe that our customers should be made to jump through hoops to get a great rate and we also believe that it is not good business practice to try and entice customers showing a rate that they will NOT get if they just walk in off the street. It is actually almost impossible to find any ACTUAL RATES on many of these websites.
So the term STREET RATE means, this is the ACTUAL RATE for ALL customers with NO SPECIAL CONDITIONS ATTACHED.
Our rates are clearly and precisely displayed on our websites and these are our ACTUAL RATES for everybody.
2. Do you always have them in stock?
We try and keep good stocks of the most popular currencies, but if we don’t have in stock, we can get in for you within 24-48 hours usually.
3. Can I pay for my currency with a debit or credit card?
Unfortunately we can only take cash for the currency. In order for us to continue to give the best possible rates, we cannot take debit/credit transactions as the associated processing charges would have to be passed on.
4. What is Rate Match?
Rate match, or price match, is where we will match any rate for currency with a competitor who operates from a walk in shop premises within 2 miles of our shops. Please check our “Currency Deals” FAQ section for more information.
5. If I pay for currency in advance, is my rate guaranteed?
Yes, If you pay in advance, which would happen if we didn’t have the currency you require in stock, we shall FIX your rate.
6. Do you BUYBACK unused currency?
Yes we do buy back currency. We feel our buy back rate is highly competitive on a daily basis.
7. Can you give me a better BUYBACK Rate?

8. What identification do I need to BUY or SELL currency with you?
Transactions that exceed £2500 or £2500 over multiple transactions over a period require ID. The best ID is either your passport or a photo driving license. Larger transactions will require further identification and in some case, more documentation. Please check with a branch for details.
9 . How do I know if your exchange rates are any good?
