Ordering a Large Amount of Currency: What to Know

For a long trip, a big family holiday or an extended stay, you may need a larger amount of cash than usual. Buying it in advance from a commission-free provider such as Travel FX, where you buy euros or US dollars at a clear rate, is the cost-effective approach for bigger orders.

Plan the amount carefully

Work out a realistic budget across the whole trip, then decide how much to carry as cash and how much to put on a card. Larger payments such as hotels and car hire usually suit a card.

Order in good time

Larger orders are best placed early so delivery or collection fits comfortably before you travel. It also gives you time to buy when the rate suits.

A trusted provider

Travel FX has traded for more than 18 years, offers over 60 currencies and holds a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews, with online ordering and delivery or collection.

Plan the figure, order ahead, and a larger currency order is straightforward.
