Whenever you go on holiday your foreign currency tends to be one of the last things you order. But with the Crown Currency Exchange website, that isn’t the case. They will let you order any currency months in advance of when you actually need it, and their service is extremely efficient too.
Check out the website at www.crowncurrencyexchange.com.
What can you buy on the site?
As you will be able to tell from the home page, you can buy plenty of different currencies from this website – over fifty in total, covering all the most popular destinations. The main ones are given their own tabs in the menu bar at the top of the page, and if the one you want isn’t included you will either need to phone them on the number provided or alternatively you can fill in the quote form on the home page.
When you click on a currency on the menu bar you will be taken to another page which lists the exchange rates available, which will vary depending on when you want the currency for. You’ll notice that the further ahead of time you can place your order, the more favorable the exchange rate will be. This is what puts this website ahead of the pack, and it’s definitely one to remember for future occasions and holidays.
You can order easily online by filling out the form provided; you’ll notice that only the main currencies can be ordered online as the rest need to be ordered by phone.
You can order either all cash, all Traveller’s Checks or a mixture of both; you’ll get a number of options when you enter the information in the first screen and all you need to do is decide which one is right for you.
You will get a currency quote before you proceed with your order, which will show you the exchange rate being applied and the total amount you will pay. You’ll also be told the date your currency will be delivered to you.
Crown Currency Exchange doesn’t do a pre-paid money travel card at the moment, but they are about to launch their own currency card which operates on the same principle. While there is no launch date given for this at present, you can go to the site and fill in your details to receive notification when it does become available.
In conclusion
The key benefit of this website is the fact that you can get a better exchange rate if you order your currency in advance of when you actually need it. This also makes it easier to plan your holiday in advance, as it is to your advantage to order as soon as possible instead of trying to guess when the exchange rate will be at its best for you.
The site will also buy back unused bank notes upon your return – all you need to do is follow the instructions given on the website.
