1. Online currency reservation
To exchange your currency at a lower cost, did you know that you can reserve your foreign currency directly online? Nothing could be simpler: just use our currency exchange widget, choose your collection method and confirm your order.
Exchanging currency online not only helps you clearly see how much you will receive after the exchange, but also allows you to benefit from better exchange rates and 0% commission. Choose free collection from one of our branches and pick up your currency with ease.
You save valuable time by avoiding a last-minute visit to a currency exchange office, and you also save money by benefiting from more attractive rates. Convenient, isn’t it?
2. The BuyBack guarantee
We know how difficult it can be to accurately estimate the budget needed for a trip, especially when travelling to a new destination.
That’s why we created our BuyBack guarantee. For just £5.99, we lock in the exchange rate from your initial transaction and apply it when you resell your remaining currency on your return. This way, you avoid market fluctuations or leaving foreign currency unused in a drawer.
This solution is ideal if you often find yourself in the following situations:
- You tend to exchange more money than necessary and usually return from trips with unused currency.
- At the end of your trip, you try to spend the rest of your budget to avoid coming home with foreign cash.
- When planning your trip, you find it difficult to clearly identify how much money you will need.
- You travel abroad regularly, particularly to countries where the economy mainly relies on cash.
If this sounds like you, our BuyBack guarantee is the solution you need! Once you return from your trip, simply visit the branch of your choice to sell back your unused currency and receive GBP.

3. Buying eSIM cards
There is nothing more stressful than being on the other side of the world without a phone or internet access. No worries: with ChangeGroup, you can purchase an international eSIM card to avoid any issues during your trip. We have partnered with Sim Local to offer you exclusive rates for a smoother travel experience, whatever your destination.
Enjoy using your phone and having enough data to handle any situation with ease.
4. Sending money with Western Union
We have partnered with Western Union to allow you to send money securely anywhere in the world. Whether you want to send cash or make a transfer using a credit or debit card, we are here to help.
Nothing could be easier: visit the ChangeGroup branch of your choice and simply provide your name and a valid form of ID. Tell us your recipient’s name as it appears on their ID, as well as their location, to complete your transfer.
