What should I do if the currency of my destination is not listed?
We supply over 50 global currencies, but we keep the most popular currencies onsite at our Newry branch. Please take a look at our Rates table to see the latest rates for the most popular currencies exchanged at our bureau de change. If you don’t see your desired currency listed on our Rates table and Currency Convertor, you can speak to the CurrencyLab Customer Service Team in branch or by calling us on +44(0)28 3026 3207 and we’ll be happy to help you and order in your chosen currency.

How long does it take to order other currencies not held in stock?
We usually keep 17 of the most popular global currencies in stock at our Newry branch and they are available to you immediately. We can also order in additional currencies for you. Please call our Customer Service Team in branch on +44(0)28 3026 3207 and we’ll be happy to help you and order in your chosen currency. We advise you to allow a minimum of one week to order in your currency and collect it in our Newry branch.
-
How long is my currency quote valid for?
We no longer provide an advanced currency ordering service online. You can check out our latest rates via our website and purchase and exchange currency in store. All quotes provided by our Customer Service Team in-branch or over the phone should be confirmed by the customer immediately if they wish to proceed with the quote. Failure to confirm a quote will result in the quote expiring and it will no longer be valid.
-
How do I know if I'm getting a good deal?
If you compare CurrencyLab’s foreign exchange rates with the rates offered by your Bank or Post Office, we’re confident that you’ll see that we offer the best exchange rates available.
We do this by buying currency at very competitive prices from large global financial institutions and we always shop around to make sure we get the best price every time. In turn, we don’t then pocket these savings (like your bank), instead we pass these savings on to you when you buy travel money or exchange currency with us. It’s that simple.
-
Is there a better rate available?
We ensure our exchange rates are extremely competitive and usually better than your bank and other money exchange providers. We also offer an improved rate on our new online money transfer service, TransferLab.
Please call our Customer Service Team on +44(0)28 3026 3207 or visit our branch to discuss your requirements.
