Which banks offer the best exchange rates

ANZ used to offer the best bank exchange rates but they recently shut down their currency exchange operations.

None of the banks offer the best exchange rates. In our comparison tables they always come last with the worst exchange rates. This is because they pass on the cost of using a physical storefront to you.

They also charge you a ‘lazy tax’. This is when you don’t know or can’t be bothered to look around for a better cost. The rates offered by banks for foreign currency are closer to the exchange rates listed by the RBA than the rate on Google.
