My experience with the Dinar Exchange has been excellent. I purchased Iraqi dinar and found their customer service to be professional and efficient with email updates confirming every step of the purchase journey.

Daphne at Northland Office in Preston provided amazing service with exchanging money for travel. Thanks very much Daphne!! I recommend the customer service at this outlet (and ask for Daphne)! Show details

Highly impressed with MChange! They processed my request super quickly and the exchange rate was the best I could find. Friendly service and great rates—definitely my go-to from now

First of all, it’s convenient, and that’s all the pros that it has. The rate is really bad, terrible to be honest and when you need to convert the… Read more

remaining money back to AUD, you’re losing double the money. That was comparing with the UBank card that I also got for travelling in NZ. So, I used the UBank and it was way better, almost the same as what you see on xe. My advice is, don’t use it unless you need it for convenience, it’s from my painful experience. I lost almost $80 bucks from exchanging back and forth!

I regret getting the Travelex travel card and would never recommend it. I originally went in just to exchange cash, but the teller convinced me that… Read more

the Travelex card would be more convenient while travelling. That turned out to be completely false.

First, the exchange rates are terrible compared to other options, and there are hidden fees everywhere. There’s even an exit fee just to close the card and get your own money back, which feels incredibly unfair.

We got three cards for different family members, and the process has been a nightmare from the start. One card had a spelling error in the account name, which has been extremely difficult to fix. Another card constantly gets rejected because the system says the address is incorrect, even though the details were entered correctly.

To make matters worse, the cards are unreliable and often simply do not work when needed. When you’re travelling, the last thing you want is stress about whether your money is accessible.

Overall, this product has caused far more problems than convenience. Between the poor exchange rates, hidden fees, administration errors, and unreliable service, I would strongly advise people to avoid the Travelex travel card and use another travel money option instead.

Unreliable Travel Card – On a recent trip to the UK, Greece and Italy I found this card to be quite unreliable with failure to actually work in over half the transactions… Read more

attempted. I suspect it was the Mastercard side as my other Visa card worked everytime when the Mastercard failed.

This card is a complete rip off and scam, I am devastated at the amount of money I have lost using it. I have just calculated that in a ten-day trip… Read more

to Bali, it cost me $500 in conversion and ATM fees. I would have been better exchanging cash over there... While it has been helpful in the past with a backup card in case one is lost and general reliability in obtaining money overseas and making payments, the cost seems far too unreasonable.

Bought VND4million. Cost me AUD$299! Convenient but exchange rate around the Gold Coast indicates the sum is $215. So I can understand some commission being charged but $75?? I will shop around in future. Show details

TLDR: It has been a nightmare getting access to my own funds. This is incredibly unethical, and I encourage everyone else in the same situation to… Read more

raise an AFCA complaint.

Details: I put money on my account for travel, and then tried to withdraw the money that I did not spend. I tried to access my money online, and couldn't. I was told to download the app to access it, and still couldn't transfer the money out of the account. After an hour with customer service I was told that there was a problem with their backend, but that the money would be transferred out of the account and into mine within 72 hours.

Two weeks pass with no response. I call back, the situation still can't be resolved. So I raise a complaint to escalate the situation. and am told that the request to transfer the funds was sent through to a team that just didn't respond or action it. I was then told I'd need to fill out a form to manually process the withdrawal. In 2026, a company apparently cannot get money out of my account digitally.

I fill out the form, and hear nothing. It's been 4 weeks. The amount showing in my account is now $0, but I haven't received funds to my bank account. I'm trying to confirm whether the money has been transfered to the wrong account, or if it's somehow in my account under a different transaction name. Customer service is non-existant and non-responsive.

I transferred $100 dollars to a family member through currency fair to Poland. They never received the money, when I contacted they replied its not… Read more

the fault. I got my family member to go to the bank with the transaction receipt that currency fair gave me and the bank replied the funds were transferred to wrong bank and they cant do anything about. Currency Fair is a scam, you cant even contact them by phone

Finally solved hacked cards through AFCA. It took about 6 months but they ruled in our favour and reimbursed us all our money Show details

I always have trouble logging in to deposit and check balance. Lots of spinning and it keeps asking me to do the "I am a human check." I've given up using it and stick with my Wise card.

they should close this company up ,customer service, What ? do they have one ? if they had a credible CEO he should be taken to Iran and made to run… Read more

out with the American land troops. and never to given a bonus for this shoddy ill ran excuse for a company.

Submitted app over weekend - said ID was pending - sent email first this Monday morning- On response. I rang Monday at 0900h and was hung up on… Read more

accidentally. I waited for a call back, didn’t get one, so I rang again this morning only to be told the person was in meeting - no appology. Never got a call back. Clearly don’t want my business and not a great intro to how they treat prospective customers - wonder how they treat existing???? Can’t complain about the customer service because there wasn’t any. Looking at other reviews, looks like net prompter scores don’t mean much to this mob. I’ll go to another provider - gave me bad vibes. I’ll try 7-11 now or BP.

Extremely disappointing experience exchanging AUD to THB with Global Exchange in Australia. The rate I received was far worse than the actual market… Read more

rate, and on top of that there was an additional fee. For around $295 AUD, I only received 4,900 THB — significantly less than what a fair exchange would give.

While everything may have been technically disclosed, the overall pricing felt very misleading and poor value. This kind of spread is excessive and not what most customers would expect, especially in Australia where you assume reasonable transparency.

I would strongly recommend avoiding this service and using a bank or a reputable exchange with fair rates instead.
