How much to order

We have a minimum order value of £100 and maximum of £2,500 per transaction. In addition there is a £5,000 order limit in a 60 day period.

It's a good idea to put together a rough holiday budget so you can work out how much cash you'll need to order and make sure you're not carrying around more cash than you need. Think about the cost of your holiday including:
 

  • Destination
  • Holiday length
  • Food and drink
  • Day trips
  • Essentials and souvenirs

Don't forget to check how much cash you can take in and out of the country you're travelling to, in case you need to declare it at customs. If you’re travelling between the UK and a non-EU country, for example, cash and travellers cheques of €10,000 or more need to be declared to help avoid fines.

Sell back your leftovers

When you return from your trip, we will gladly buy back your leftover foreign currency notes and Travellers Cheques, provided the notes are in an acceptable condition.  Remember, we don't buy back coins or certain denominations of bank notes and will only purchase currency that we deal in at that time.
