Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 940 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. People often share that ordering foreign currency online is remarkably straightforward, and they genuinely appreciate the friendly, efficient staff members assisting them at local branches. The overall service is frequently described as seamless, allowing travelers to easily manage their accounts, transfer money, and pick up cash without unnecessary stress. Some reviewers were not happy with receiving large denomination bills instead of smaller notes, which made making everyday purchases during their trips quite inconvenient. A few other people also felt that waiting times at certain collection counters could be excessively long, or experienced minor frustrations with online payment verifications.

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.

Convenient Travelex Card

I have now used my Travelex Card in 3 countries. I have found it a very convenient way to use money overseas and being able to load my card prior to travel and then transfer from one country's currency to another to be very convenient. I also save on bank fees.

Ordered foreign currency and was informed when I could collect it. Travelex true to their word! An outstanding experience for the working professional who can't often get time off work to do the things that need to be done. Thank you for the clear communication. Oh and the guy who works in the Hamilton office is cute too.

Great customer service

I had phoned through to the Waikanae Travelex before driving 55kms. My queries were throughly explained and the currency in denominations I needed to purchase were on hand and offered to put on hold until my arrival.
Naomi was very pleasant, friendly and kindly assisted and resolved an error I had made.
I would definitely use this Travelex branch again because of her service.
