How to sell unwanted currency back?  

2020 has seen an unprecedented number of travel-plans and holidays cancelled. In turn many holidaymakers may now find themselves with unwanted currency as a result of this. For some this could present the dilemma of whether to convert the currency back to pounds or hang on to the travel money until a later date.

In an article written last month for the Daily Express our CEO Paul Brewer discussed the potential risks around not selling the currency back, with future economic factors causing a change in the exchange rate.

Mr Brewer warned: “Even if you do plan to use the travel money in the future, the changing exchange rate means you could be losing out if the value of the currency falls dramatically.”

What are the options when it comes to selling currency back?

For some travellers they may only be aware of the more conventional choices such as the post office or other bureau de changes based on the high street, when it comes to converting back left-over currency. While these currency buyback services are seen as the most convenient option, the currency rates are often inferior to alternatives out there in the market. Switching to an online provider such as Currency Online Group could save you up to 10% on your unused travel money.
