Travellers Cheques and Foreign Currency

 

Competitive rates and 0% commission

  • 0% commission on all currency notes and currency travellers cheques*
  • Competitive rates of exchange
  • Order over the phone or through your local branch
  • Choice of payment methods and delivery
  • Unused currency bought back commission free

Bank of Scotland offers competitive rates of exchange, 0% commission on travellers cheques* or notes and several ways to pay.

 

Travellers cheques

Accepted all over the world, American Express Travellers Cheques, available in a wide range of currencies, are one of the safest ways to carry money. If lost of stolen, they can usually be replaced within 24 hours.

 

Foreign currency

When travelling on business, we'd always recommend taking some foreign currency with you for immediate spending needs, such as taxis and tips. We supply cash in a wide range of currencies.

 

How to order

You can order through your local branch or, if you're a Bank of Scotland registered user, you can use our 24-hour Telephone Banking ordering service.

 

Orders placed before 3pm will be available for next-day collection after 2pm**, from most Bank of Scotland branches. Alternatively, your currency can be delivered direct to your UK business address for a fee of £5.

 

Payment

If you're already a Bank of Scotland customer, you can pay directly from your Bank of Scotland account or use your Bank of Scotland Commercial Card – there is no cash advance fee as your order is treated as a purchase, not a cash withdrawal.

Otherwise, pay by cash or credit card when you order in one of our branches.

 

Commission charges

  • Sales: Sterling travellers cheques - £1 per £100, minimum £3, no maximum.

Re-purchase: We'll buy back any unused travel money, free of charge***.

 

Further information

* The 0% commission travel money sale and buyback offer on currency travellers cheques and notes is available for business travel purposes and does not apply to commercial transactions. Bank of Scotland reserves the right to withdraw this offer at any time.

 

** Please allow an extra day for orders placed immediately before a Bank Holiday and where delivery is to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
