If you have used Unimoni in the past to buy some travel money, you might be wondering - why can't I find them anywhere?
Well, unfortunately, Unimoni has stopped buying or selling currency in cash. Unimoni currency exchange closed their Australian stores. They also closed their wholesale division and no longer offer customers in Australia the ability to exchange currency in cash.
Some of the store locations that Unimoni used to operate have been taken by Crown Currency. Crown is a foreign currency service similar to Unimoni with stores right across Australia. They have very good in-store service but you can't order your currency online.

Sydney
Surprisingly, even though there are more money changers in Sydney than any other city, the exchange rates aren't as competitive as Sydney or Adelaide.
In the CBD
There is a lot of choice in the city, particularly on George Street and Pitt Street. ANZ and Commonwealth Bank have foreign exchange outlets as well as more well know brands like Travelex or Travel Money Oz. The best place to buy foreign currency in Sydney though is through one of the less well known money changers like Crown Currency or WeXchange.
In the suburbs
There are plenty of stores in the suburbs but the rates aren't as competitive as the city.
