Is there a best day or time to exchange AUD to USD?

There isn't a particular day of the week or month that is the 'best day'. Exchange rates constantly move and are very hard to forecast. Money exchange stores and online currency exchange services will move their exchange rates up and down as the Australian dollar moves.

Unfortunately, no one can tell you when the best time to exchange AUD to USD is, but you can track the rate.

You set the rate you would like to buy and let us to the work. We will email you when the AUD gets within the range you would like to buy USD.
