Want to know the exchange rate?

It’s always sensible to pre-buy currency if you are planning a trip. It's best to pick a range you are happy with and worth within that. If you are a Caxton travel money card customer you can set a rate alert to receive an email when the rate reaches your range

The rates here reflect live rates for some 14 different currencies you can load onto your card. As part of your One Account, you can choose our standard black card or upgrade to our red card.
