Compare currency buy-back

You can look for the best currency buy-back rates on the high street, but you could miss out if you ignore what’s available online. Use this comparison to check currency buy back rates including the best euro buy back rate from our selection of online providers. 

Rates may differ due to the fluctuating nature of currency exchange, so for the latest rate, please check with the provider.

The costs you incur when you sell travel money can vary widely. So, you need to factor in:

• The exchange rate: choosing the highest foreign currency buy back rate available should help to ensure you get the best possible deal

• Any delivery costs: you will usually have to pay to send your cash to the buy-back provider

Some providers do not guarantee currency buy-back rates before you send your money to them, which could affect the amount you get back.

You can use any of the providers in this comparison to sell euros or other foreign currencies and exchange them back into pounds.

Here is more information on dealing with leftover currency

No. You can sell euros, dollars, and other common currencies, but buy back services are not available for all currencies. Check with providers to make sure you can exchange your money, then compare rates and charges to find the best deal.

Yes, if the travel money provider you choose allows it, you can exchange one currency for another; you could, for example, switch euros to US dollars.

Not always. Check the terms and conditions when comparing rates online – some currency buy back providers only agree a rate once they receive your money, which could make a big difference to how much you receive.

No, only notes are accepted, and some providers only take specific denominations, so it’s also worth checking this when choosing where to exchange any unused currency.

Yes. Provided the currency exchange you've chosen accepts all of them, you can swap more than one currency at a time. 

This depends on the currency. 

US dollars never go out of date, while other countries periodically 'expire' older bank notes.

In many cases, they will still be accepted anyway. For example, although euro notes were introduced in 2002, the new Europa series of euro notes were introduced between 2013 and 2019, but the old versions have retained their value and can be exchanged. 

Turkish lira from before 2005, however, is no longer accepted by businesses including foreign currency buy back services.
