You can purchase USD online through S Money or other exchange providers and collect in-store, at Australia Post, or have it delivered to your home. Alternatively, you can buy in person at money exchange outlets in major cities. Airports should be avoided as they offer some of the worst exchange rates.
Online exchanges like S Money often provide the best overall value when you factor in exchange rates and fees.

The official currency is the United States dollar, USD.
Australian dollars are not accepted in Europe. You will need to convert AUD to EUR before spending at local shops, restaurants, or attractions. Withdrawing foreign cash ahead of time ensures you can pay effortlessly with the official currency.
The Euro is a traded currency that benefits from the economic stability of the Eurozone and is widely accepted across most countries in Europe. Its strength is influenced by economic trends, interest rates, and its role as the second most traded currency in the world. For travellers, this means your Australian dollars can go further when you buy Euros online, exchange AUD, or use a travel money card.
Like all reputable money exchanges, we are registered with AUSTRAC and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC).
S Money complies with the relevant laws pertaining to privacy, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism finance. This means you are required to provide I.D. when you place an order. It also means the order must be paid for by the same person ordering the currency and you must show your identification again when receiving your order.
