Exchanging
Currency for Travel?
Banks and other institutions charge consumers
a fee for currency conversions. Consumers can typically
expect to pay 4% when exchanging currency in small amounts
"over the counter". This amount can be more or less depending on where and how you exchange
your currency. You'll likely get the best rate from your bank or
a foreign exchange company. |
Trading Currency for Profit?
Foreign Exchange traders buy and sell currencies on the open
"FOREX" or Foreign Exchange
market. There are no trade commissions charged
for FOREX trades other than small built-in spreads. Online FOREX
trading has become increasingly popular and there are many online
FOREX trading and informational resources available.
