As an aside, many full service banks can exchange foreign currency for you. For example, Bank of America does (https://www.bankofamerica.com/foreign-exchange/exchange-rates/ https://www.bankofamerica.com/foreign-exchange/exchange-rate...). You can also order foreign currency prior to your trip and they'll mail it to you.
- kiwijamo 3y agoInterestingly in my country many full service banks have dropped foriegn currency services. They did that during the panademic but never returned back to offering that again. I suspect they make so much money from Visa/Mastercard commissions that they'd prefer people paid with card rather than cash.
- tambourine_man 3y agoYeah, a decade or so ago I’m sure I could have found one much easier. The only thing widely accepted is dollars and euros, now.
- tambourine_man 3y agoRight, it’s the same here. I learned that the hard way. If I ever need cash for traveling again, this is the way. I much rather use credit card if I can, however. But this place didn’t even had cell phone signal, so accepting anything other than cash was impossible.
