Here's What You Get


  • Click to Buy Currency Today & Travel Prepared! Avoid the 3% SURCHARGE when using your favorite credit card overseas on purchases (since April 2005, major credit card companies began adding a 3% surcharge to all currency purchases made overseas. The charge is added to your regular monthly statement. It's always best to arrive in a country with some of the currency in your pocket)
  • Click to set up an e-Mail Reminder: Not ready to buy today? Just complete the online form and you will be emailed a FREE reminder 30 days prior to your departure.

  • Avoid waiting in long lines to exchange currency at the airport after a long flight.
  • Avoid unnecessary fees and inflated currency exchange rates in airports, hotels, and banks.
  • For a small delivery fee, your currency can be sent directly to your home or office, or to LAFCU, where you can pick it up during business hours.
