Online currency rates are often indicative and may not reflect the final rate for physical banknotes. Branch rates can change throughout the day based on market movements, currency demand, availability and operational costs. Buying and selling rates are also different. The buying rate applies when the branch buys foreign currency from you, while the selling rate applies when you purchase foreign currency. For the most accurate rate, confirm the latest rate and currency availability with your preferred HME branch before visiting.
