Collection points across Germany
Travellers in Germany can reserve foreign currency online and pick it up at a branch of their choice. Airport branches in Frankfurt, Berlin and Hamburg offer collection for people about to fly, so reserved money can be taken on the way through the terminal. US dollars and British pounds sterling are among the options, alongside Canadian dollars. Reserving ahead gives travellers the chance to arrange cash before the trip rather than at an airport counter on arrival. Branches in the wider German network suit people who prefer to handle travel money in person.
Our full take
German site of Travelex for buying foreign currency and travel money online with pickup in branches, plus a currency converter and exchange rate information.
