They had me wait 15 minutes for them to get off their break to tell me I cant use my debit card because their machine is broken. Even a hand written sign on the window would have prevented me from wasting my time.

Customer service is great and I like that they always have the currency I need for travel. The currency exchange for euro to dollars is fair and reasonable. However the currency exchange at this place from morrocan dirham to us dollars is exorbitant at 1 dollar to .1190 MAD, however the international value is 1 dollar to .097 MAD. According to international currency value I should have 3613 dirhams for 350 American dollars. Instead I received 2960 dirhams which is American 286 for 350 dollars. So I paid american 350 to get dirham value in american that is 286. That means that 64 of those dollars did not go through a currency exchange but was a part of the exchange value service this business has put in place for the value of american dollar to MAD. Word of caution, look at currency value online and understand that some currencies are closed currency like dirhams,with these currencies, its actually better to exchange in the destination like in the airport when you arrive there. Lesson learned the hard way...lol.. I have had really great experiences here in the past but this time disappointmented with the dollar to dirham exchange. My receipt is on Google images for reference.

Questions & Answers

How does currency reservation work?

Currency Exchange International | Sep 6, 2022

First, select your desired currency and a branch location for pick up. On the Cart page, enter how much of that currency you want to reserve (an indication rate will be used for your reference) or the USD equivalent. If you want to add another currency select “Add New Currency” and enter the amount for this as well. Once you have all of the currencies you’d like to reserve, select “Proceed to Checkout”. You will now enter your contact information and select “Reserve Currency”. You will see a confirmation of your order and a confirmation will be sent to your provided email address. CXI's representative will contact with you and confirm when the reserved order will be available for pick up. You will pay for the order when you pick up the reserved currency.

How long will the branch keep my currency reservation?

The branch will keep your currency on hand for 7 business days before putting it back into inventory. If you will not be able to pick it up within 7 business days, please call your local CXI branch.

What is the difference between an exchange rate for Home Delivery and an indication rate for Reservation?

Currency Exchange International | Sep 6, 2022
Currency Exchange International | Sep 6, 2022

Branch Pickup Reservations Our exchange rates are locked in every weekday at our branches around 8 AM EST. The rate you receive when you make the online reservation is the exchange rate (indication rate) of that day, so it is good for that day only. The exchange rate you pay will be that of the day when you actually pick up and pay for the currency. The indication rate gives you a good reference point as currency exchange rates typically move less than 3% day to day. Home Delivery Orders Our exchange rates are locked in every weekday online around 8 AM EST. Home Delivery Orders are paid for when you complete the online checkout at the exchange rate displayed. Home Delivery does not use indication rates.

What do I do with the foreign currency I bought at CXI when I get back from my trip?

Our branch will confirm that the rate you present is for the same amount and currency as you plan to exchange with CXI. Once confirmed with the bank or airport, CXI will match or beat the given rate. This is only valid prior to an exchange and is not valid after an exchange has already been completed.

What is an exchange rate and how does it work?

Currency Exchange International | Sep 6, 2022
Currency Exchange International | Sep 6, 2022

An exchange rate between two currencies is the price of a country's currency in relation to another currency (called a currency pair). An exchange rate thus has two components, the domestic currency and a foreign currency. Currencies can be quoted either directly (how much 1 domestic currency unit, for example: $1USD is X amount of Euros, is worth in the foreign currency) or indirectly (how much 1 foreign currency unit, for example: 1 Euro is X amount of USD, is worth in the domestic currency).

I want to know what is the rate of exchange. Example how much is a pound if you changed it to American money
