Compare the REAL exchange rate to the one that you are offered

One of the most common frustration for anyone exchanging currency is seeing one exchange rate online - and then being offered a completely different rate.

The exchange rate that you see online if you use Google, XE or any other currency converter, is the real exchange rate. It's also sometimes called the 'wholesale' rate or the 'interbank' rate because it used for wholesale amounts between banks.

So why can't you get this rate?

Well, most money changers will tell you that they are fee free or that they have "no commissions". The truth is that they make their money on the difference between the rate you see online and the rate you end up getting.

Now there is nothing wrong with money changers making money. Everyone needs to make some money to provide a service and make a profit. The problem with making money by charging you a different rate to the real rate, is that it's really very hard to work out how much you are actually being charged.

To work out how much you are actually losing to hidden fees, you need to compare the rate that you get offered to the real exchange rate.

Luckily, with S Money, there is no hidden fee.

We sell currency at the real exchange rate. Our service and delivery fees aren't hidden. You can get a quote online with all the fees included before you order your currency.

What is the best way to compare foreign currency providers?

The best way to compare foreign currency providers in Australia is online, it is cheaper and quicker. Comparison tables find the total cost of exchanging currency and clearly show you in order of cheapest first.

In addition they clearly show you each foreign currency provider’s foreign currency exchange rate and the transaction fees of each currency provider.

Comparing foreign currency providers takes 5 seconds and is the quickest method. Calling around 5-6 foreign currency providers can take you up to an hour as not all the providers answer their telephone the first time round. Walking around a CBD will take you around 2 hours because not all of them are open as advertised.
