Currency Exchange

Snegg

Hi,

I'm going to South Africa so I'll need to buy some Rand.

I'm wondering if it will be better if I order it through a bank or go to a currency exchange in South Africa?

Thanks

Withdraw it from an ATM when you get there, preferably from your current a/c though in some cases if you load up your credit card with a positive balance it can be cheaper to get cash using the CC. The costs can be found on your bank's website.

Do not go near currency exchanges, (Bureaux du Change), they will rip you off big time.
