Why you get best currency exchange rates in Sydney
Heading into the Sydney CBD to buy or sell currency may be very different to what you expect.
Many of the places to exchange currency closed in the last couple of years. The major banks no longer offer any currency exchange.
We visited over a dozen money exchange locations across the Sydney CBD and compared their fees and services to find the best currency exchange rates.
- S Money has the best currency exchange rates and offer both store collection or home delivery.
- United Currency Exchange has the very good rates but it's hard to find
- Crown Currency and Travel Money Oz have the most convenient stores in the middle of the city but their rates are not as sharp
- Travelex has the most stock on hand, particularly for less common currencies
- Smaller stores in Haymarket have the best deals when it comes to selling currency
US dollars
Australians buy more US dollars than any other currency.
The best places to buy US dollars in Sydney is in Haymarket, within the CBD. There are the most stores here, the exchange rates are better and the fees are lower.
The more US dollars you are buying, the more you can negotiate a better deal when dealing with money changers over the counter.
If you can't make into the city, you can also order US dollars online and have it delivered.
Euros
More Australians head to Europe than any other continent thanks to popular tourist destinations like France and Italy.
Some of the best places to buy euros in Sydney are in Chinatown within the CBD. These money changers have a good level of stock, range of denominations and are open to negotiation if you are purchasing a larger amount.
If you live outside of the major cities, you can also order euros online and have it delivered.
Japanese Yen
If you have ever been to Japan, you'll know that you need to take some cash. Cards aren't accepted as much as in Australia.
If you're looking for where to buy yen in Sydney, the best places are the smaller independent money changers, located in the city. These currency exchange stores have the best exchange rates because they have the most competition.
The more yen you are buying, the more you can negotiate a better deal when dealing with money changers over the counter.
