These requests are performed on a best efforts basis.
Our fees depend on the currency and amount you order.
We aim to be upfront and transparent about what we charge and what it’s for.
Unlike other businesses we don’t try to hide this charge in the exchange rate. All orders will incur a service fee. This covers the cost of buying the currency and GST, along with a small profit.
Ordering currency online
Yes, you'll need an approved government issued ID to order currency and you'll need to have it with you to collect your order. Buying currency online is much like buying currency in store. We need to check your ID to validate that the currency isn't being used for illegal activity and to keep your money safe. Don’t worry we won't use this data for anything else.
