Expert Quote

“Taking cash abroad gives you the reassurance that you'll be able to pick up a taxi at the airport, pay for an ice cream on the beach, tip in restaurants and pay at local markets. Exchanging cash in advance ensures you get the best rate and avoids potential ATM charges.”

- Natalie Townsend, FX Expert

Frequently asked questions

How do I buy currency from you?

You can buy currency from any of our open Bureau de Change desks in John Lewis shops.

You can also order online and choose Home Delivery or Click & collect from Waitrose and John Lewis.

Exchange rates in our shops may vary from those offered online.

Does someone need to be home if I want my order delivered?

Yes, your order will be delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed™ service and will need to be signed for by either you or someone else at your address.

What is click and collect?

Click & collect allows you to order online and collect in store at selected Waitrose and John Lewis shops.

Simply select the Click & collect option after you have confirmed the currency you are ordering. A collection date will be detailed in your confirmation email - we will send an email and an SMS message when your order is ready to collect. Your order will be held for seven days from the collection date.

You can collect your order at any time during the opening hours of the store.

What currency do I need?

It’s helpful to know what currency you’ll need when travelling abroad before you get there. This ensures you can jump right into the fun when you arrive. For guidance with what currency you require for your destination, use our rate table.

Are all currencies available?

John Lewis supplies up to 60 types of currency, to help keep you provided with cash for destinations as close as Paris to as far as Malaysia. To find out if we stock the currency you require, you can check the list on our rate table above.

Is it cheaper to withdraw cash abroad or exchange currency before you go?

Withdrawing holiday money abroad is great in an emergency, but you can’t guarantee the currency exchange rate will be the same as it was when you left home, and you might be subject to ATM fees. By exchanging currency with John Lewis before you go, you can be safe in the knowledge that you’ll get a great rate and you won’t be paying any commission.

Can you use a credit card to buy travel money?

Yes, you can absolutely use a credit card to buy your travel money. Better still if you use your Partnership credit card when buying your currency, we’ll give you 5 points on your Partnership Card for every £4 you spend. 

It’s important to know that while we do not charge you extra to pay by credit card, some card issuers charge additional fees for foreign currency exchange payments, so it is always advisable to check with your bank first.

How much money do I need to take on holiday?

The amount of travel money you need to take on holiday depends on what kind of trip you’re taking, but it’s always smart to have a budget so you know what to expect. No matter how big or small your budget you should take multiple ways to pay with you, to keep you safe in every scenario. This could be cash, debit/credit cards or prepaid travel cards. If you end up with leftover foreign currency at the end of your trip, we’re happy to buy it back off of you at a competitive rate.

How do I find my nearest Bureau?

Finding your closest Bureau has never been easier with our Bureau de change locator, you just need to type in your postcode and check out your options. If you don’t want to make the trip to a Bureau, you also have the option to order online and pick up from your nearest John Lewis or Waitrose or even have it delivered to your home the next working day.
