A deep dive on pounds

One of the oldest currencies in the entire world, British pounds date back to the 8th century and are the 4th most traded currency in the foreign exchange market.
The first decimal coins were introduced in 1968. In 2016, the polymer £5 note was introduced, making for a stronger, safer, longer lasting note.

I was very pleased with my dealings with Adnon, the Travelex representative at the King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, PA. He was very helpful and gave me my euros in a very timely manner.

Easy and Convenient but the exchange rate is the weak link.

Convenience is the prime advantage of your currency exchange. Your exchange rates, on the other hand, are not very good. In my recent trip to Canada, I could have gotten at the airport a much better rate than what Travelex offered. But, as I say, the convenience part is hard to beat.

I ordered Euros for my friends wedding as they are headed to Germany in a few weeks. The currency arrived on time and they were very happy to get a thoughtful gift and when they land in Germany they can hit the ground running! I ordered them for myself when I went to Ireland last year and I hope to order them again next year when I take my girlfriend on another trip!

It was very safe and secure

It was very safe and secure. My only concern was that the date I picked on the calendar was bolded. However, the date selected for me was a different day so I had to take the day off from work. All in all, a great experience and I've used Travelex twice so far.

No the best exchange rate but more convenient than traveling with a bundle of cash. Web page a bit difficult to navigate and log in, especially if you are on the move traveling. But it can be done.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Ease of access internationally, easy reloading process, accepted in most places. No fees. Cons: Very high exchange rate fees, exchange rates not optimal for large amounts.

Anon

Super convenient

Lower fees than would have been at the airport and fast home delivery! Note on delivery: somebody must be home to sign for the package so plan ahead

Lynn

Why not an immediate email receipt?

I was very concerned that I ordered my currency, paid with my credit card and then got no receipt or email as proof of payment immediately after. I had to email to enquire. Wasn't happy about giving my card details and having nothing in return.
