Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 932 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. People frequently praise the seamless online ordering process, noting how convenient it is to arrange their travel money and pick it up locally. Branch staff members are widely described as extremely friendly, approachable, and very efficient when handling daily transactions and explaining card usage. However, some people mentioned receiving large banknote denominations, such as hundred-dollar bills, which made spending and getting change difficult in cash-reliant destinations. A few reviewers also noted experiencing frustrating wait times and lengthy queues at specific store locations when arriving to collect their pre-ordered currency.

Very poor experience

Very poor experience. Their promotional material and in‑branch staff claim “no ATM fees”, but this is simply not true. I was charged despite their assurances, and the gap between what they advertise and what actually happens feels extremely deceptive. This kind of misleading information erodes trust, and I would not recommend them based on my experience. When we escalated this after paying around $40 in these charges we were told it’s in their terms and conditions (in very small print) which we received after the original transaction. So I guess it’s ok to claim false information, if you hide in the t’s & c’s. Please be careful when signing up for the money-cards.

My order was there ready to collect, I did find there was a customer in front of me and boy did it take such a long time ⌛️ I think she was signing up but it did become ridiculous.

Partially ? Part of the Process

Ordering on line was easy, picking up the various currency was seamless as well, although I would have rathered had the money counted not directly on the top counter in front of me, whilst other people were walking in straight behind me. Normally the money would be counted on the lower counter which I could still see - didn't feel particularly safe this time round.

Contradicting advice between staff

Contradicting advice between staff. One said we could exchange currency for lower denomination and another flatly said no when we went to branch

Being greeted on arrival was great

Being greeted on arrival was great. However I had pre-ordered my currency, and had to wait in que for 45 minutes to collect it, as other people were ordering at time of visit. I think if there was an express service, for people who have ordered on line, just there for pick up, it would be a much nicer experience.

good experience

It's been a good experience but I've noticed i may have this wrong but I can't use a bank account to transfer money into travelex only cards. Is this correct. My apologies if I'm wrong. Otherwise very happy with it.
