Purchase of Travel Money
This internet ordering service (the “Service”) is provided by Currency Xtra Limited.
These Online Terms and Conditions apply to the Service, which consists of an online ordering facility for foreign currency banknotes, and/or bank transfers.
Use of the Service
The Service is only available to individuals aged 18 years or over, and who are resident in and accessing the Service from the United Kingdom. By ordering Travel Money from us, you confirm that you have read and understood the Online Terms and Conditions and agree to be bound by them and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
The Service is only available for the currencies listed from time to time on the online ordering screen. Orders for collection are subject to a maximum value of £4,999.99 per person per day. There is no minimum order value for orders for collection. Currency availability may also be subject to further monetary limits, currency exchange restrictions and to customers complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including those relating to anti-money laundering regulations. Frequent flyer points are not awarded in conjunction with use of this Service.
Orders for Collection
If you choose to place an order for collection, you can order up to 10 days in advance of the collection date. You can also order Euros and US Dollars on the day of collection, provided that we receive and subsequently confirm your order at least 4 hours prior to collection. All other currencies will be available for collection after 3 working days*, provided we receive and subsequently confirm your order by 2.00 p.m.
* Please note when ordering that Saturdays and Sundays, together with Bank/Public Holidays, are not working days.
All Orders
To place an order, follow the instructions on the ordering screen. Once you have entered the ordering screen you must complete your order within 10 minutes otherwise your session may time out and you will have to restart the order process. You are able to correct errors on your order up to the point at which you click on “Buy My Currency Now” on the payment details screen. You will be required to pay for the Travel Money at the time of ordering by credit or debit card. The exchange rates we quote are subject to change. We will use the exchange rate (as set by us) that appears on the ordering screen at the time we receive your order. You must provide the requested information for us to process your order. We reserve the right to request further information from you at any time to enable us to complete your order and/or to comply with regulatory requirements. We will use various procedures to authenticate each transaction and may, at any time, decline to process your order or any part of your order for any reason. By placing an order, you confirm that the details contained in the order are correct in all respects. The system will display a confirmation screen setting out the details of your order. This confirms receipt of your order. A contract between you and us is only formed when we send you a confirmation email that your credit or debit card payment has been accepted. Please print a copy of the confirmation screen for your records and print or store the confirmation email in a safe place, as it will be the only record of your transaction.
Please note: if you fail to collect your order within 72 hours of the collection time then your order will be marked as non-collected and your order will be cancelled.
Collecting Your Travel Money
If you choose to place an order for collection, orders can be collected, by the card holder only, from your nominated Currency Xtra office, as listed on the ordering screen. Collection is subject to the opening times of the collection location. Details for the opening times of the collection location will be notified to you at the time of the order and can be obtained on the Website. Please remember to allow sufficient time to make your collection before departing on your travels.
At the time of collection the cardholder will need to produce the card used to make the purchase plus either a valid passport, UK Photographic Driving Licence or EU ID card for identification purposes. Depending on your order, Currency Xtra reserves the right to ask for further information and identification (such as proof of residential address) in accordance with its anti-money laundering policies. The name on the card used to make the purchase must match that on the identification document(s) used. In order to enable us to comply with our anti-money laundering and other legal obligations, and internal risk and fraud policies, Currency Xtra reserves the right to take a copy of your identification document(s) and the card used to make the purchase, at the time of collection.

You can pay for orders with most major credit or debit cards issued in the United Kingdom registered in your name and with sufficient funds available to cover your order and any applicable fees.
You will not be charged a card handling fee if you choose to pay by Maestro, MasterCard® Debit Card or Visa Debit Card. If you wish to pay by MasterCard Credit Card or Visa Credit Card, a handling fee of 2% of the order value will be applied. This will be shown within your order summary as a “Credit Card handling fee”. Please note: your card issuer may apply an additional charge when using your credit card. Any additional charge will not appear on your order total but will appear on your card statement.
Third Party Rights
When you place an order for Travel Money we are entering a contract with you personally. Nothing in these terms will confer any benefit on any third party or any right to enforce these terms.

All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to authorise payment your order will not be accepted.
3D Secure is a payment verification protocol used by major card issuers, branded as ‘MasterCard Secure Code’ and ‘Verified by Visa’ to prevent credit card fraud. Depending on the card issuer, 3D Secure is an opt-out option or a required service for using the card to make internet purchases. Cards registered with 3D Secure require the user to enter a Personal Identification Number (PIN) code or password. This PIN code is not the same PIN code issued with the card.
3D Secure verifies the card details provided by you. The system is completely automated and we do not store or process any of the data provided by the 3D Secure system.
