FAQ

What is the difference between cash and account funds?

Cash means physical notes, while account funds are foreign-currency balances. Banks may quote them differently because handling costs differ.

Which rate should I use?

When you buy foreign cash from a bank, use the bank sell rate. When you sell foreign cash to a bank, use the bank buy rate.

Can I always exchange cash immediately?

Not always. Some currencies or large amounts may require an appointment and depend on branch inventory.
