Guest motorola Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi, As of now, 22 Jan 2014 8.30pm, I AUD buys about 0.886 USD. So far, all the money changers I found only give at most 0.85 USD. Does anyone know moneychanger with decent exchange rate for USD? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keith & Linda Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Afraid not, the rate normally stated is the bank rate, the tourist rate is always 4 or 6 cents lower, also be aware of fees/charges as well as the exchange rate. I now have a 28 degrees credit card, its a fee free card, has some of the best exchange rates and if you load it up then you can draw cash out anywhere and not get charged a cash advance fee, though you still need to be aware that there could be ATM fees, so larger withdrawals will limit the number of fees. I got this card after having nothing but trouble with those travel cards you pre load. Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shelley McGonigal Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Who have you tried? I have used ozforex since I have been in Australia - I also have a deal with them through my website for you to get two free transactions. Let me know if you want more details.
