We aim to provide you with the best currency exchange experience possible, so you can enjoy your international travels.
The exchange of foreign currency is a staple of international travel, yet it is more than likely one of the last items checked off the to-do lists. We want you to celebrate more and worry less by arriving with the currency of your destination in hand.
CXI's OnlineFX offers home delivery of foreign currency to most areas; simply pay at online checkout.
Order currency at a time that suits you, with our 24/7 online reservation service, and pay when you pick up the currency at a CXI branch.
CXI branches offer most major currencies available immediately for purchase or the option to exchange foreign currency for U.S. dollars on the spot.
ATMs provide a good backup when traveling in other countries, but are not necessarily the best choice when it comes to obtaining foreign cash. CXI recommends taking cash with you to:
Protect yourself from only having your credit card or debit card. A credit card may be the right choice for large purchases, but fraud can quickly put a damper on your travel fun.
Currency Exchange International, Corp carries most major currencies daily for our customers' convenience. With that in mind, it is encouraged for customers to call ahead to place an order. This will allow our branch to make sure we have enough currency in stock for you and the next customer that may want the same currency. If it is not in stock, we will take your information and call you as soon as it comes into the branch. No down payment or deposit is required unless you are ordering a large amount of a minor currency, in which case a deposit may be required to hold the currency. The currencies listed below are subject to change without notice.

Make sure to arrive with cash in hand. At your destination, you have no easy way to know what your exchange rate or fees will be. Instead of enjoying your travel, you will need to search and shop around for the best rates. Most importantly, CXI is federally regulated by the Department of Treasury and provides a safe, secure way to exchange currency. Travelers love us - we're highly rated on Trustpilot. As for banks, CXI has a Best Rate Guarantee that its CXI City Center (company-owned) branches will match or beat the exchange rate given by a local bank for the same foreign currency (cash) and service on the same day. Not only do we guarantee this, but we also keep most major currencies in stock daily and allow you to place orders over the phone, where most bank branches will require you to be an account holder, come into their branch (during banking hours) to request currency, and then return another day to pick up the currency. Most of CXI's locations are open seven days a week and have much longer business hours to help you on your schedule.
Most Banks
CXI City Center (company-owned) Branches
All CXI branches are safely and conveniently located in major areas, many in shopping centers or malls offering extended operating and holiday hours.
This guarantee means CXI City Center (company-owned) locations will match or beat the exchange rate given by any local bank or airport for the same foreign currency (cash) and service on the same day and time of the exchange. If you find a better rate within the same city and on the same day as the CXI branch you plan to exchange with, notify the CXI branch. Our branch will confirm that the rate you present is for the same amount and currency as you plan to exchange with CXI. Once confirmed with the bank or airport, CXI will match or beat the given rate. This is only valid prior to an exchange and is not valid after an exchange has already been completed.
Please note that the policies of agent locations including CXI Airports and affiliate-owned locations listed on our website may vary. The Best Rate Guarantee is only available at CXI City Center (company-owned) locations.
Yes, you may purchase foreign currency at our branches with all major credit cards. For rates, limitations, and fees, please contact the closest CXI branch to you.
Accepted Payment Types
CXI can buy and sell select foreign coins at any of its owned locations. We currently exchange the most popular foreign coin denominations: £1 British pound, £2 British pounds, $1 Canadian loonie, $2 Canadian loonie, €1 European euro, €2 European euros, $10 Mexican pesos, and $20 Mexican pesos. To help reduce lines and wait times for all customers, all foreign coins must be sorted prior to coming to the branch to exchange them.
For all other foreign coins, you can donate them to the UNICEF Change For Good program. It's also a good idea to use foreign coins to pay for any of your last meals or snacks because it will be extremely difficult to get rid of the coins at a good value otherwise.
Visit our news page for more information on how to exchange select foreign coins.
Currency Price Protection (CPP) allows you, for a low fee of $5.95, to take advantage of a Special Buy Back rate that protects your currencies when you purchase banknotes from CXI. This price protection allows you to sell any eligible leftover currency back at a Special Buy Back rate plus you receive no exchange fee, saving you the most money compared to the Standard Buy Back rate. CPP is available for nearly all currencies. There is no required minimum or maximum required to be ordered, however, only the currencies and amounts in your original CPP order will be eligible for the improved Special Buy Back rate.

An exchange rate between two currencies is the price of a country's currency in relation to another currency (called a currency pair). An exchange rate thus has two components: the domestic currency and a foreign currency.
Currencies can be quoted either directly (how much 1 domestic currency unit, for example: $1USD is X amount of Euros, is worth in the foreign currency) or indirectly (how much 1 foreign currency unit, for example: 1 Euro is X amount of USD, is worth in the domestic currency).
This is one of the most common foreign currency exchange questions out there and it is easy to understand why. The rates posted online and in newspapers is what is called the interbank rate.
The currency market is a decentralized market where there isn't one exchange where every foreign currency exchange trade is recorded. Instead, each market maker records its own transactions and keeps it as proprietary information. The primary market makers who make bid-and-ask spreads in the currency market are the largest banks in the world. They deal with each other constantly, which is why the market on which banks conduct transactions is called the interbank market. This market contains deals done in the millions and billions of dollars and is not done in a public forum for others to participate in.
This means there is no central entity that governs currency exchange rates. The interbank market is a credit-approved system where banks trade based on the credit relationship they share with each other. The larger the forex retail, the more favorable pricing it can get from the interbank market.
CXI is unique in that it is a net buyer of foreign currency. The company-owned branches provide an influx of foreign currency that it can, in turn, make available for sale through its wholesale network relationships. This synergy effectively allows CXI to minimize the currency costs of buying and selling on the interbank market, affording CXI the ability to offer its customers and clients extremely competitive rates while providing its Best Rate Guarantee*.
