Australia Post Currency Exchange & Travel Money & Services

There are 2 ways to buy foreign currency in cash at the post office:

1. Order it online
2. Head down to a participating post office and order it

1. Online

Head to the Auspost foreign currency cash website. Enter the amount you need and confirm the exchange rate. Choose how you would like to pay for it (either Bpay or card). You need to choose which post office you'd like to pick it up from and a date to pick it up. Finally, you'll need to confirm your details and have your I.D. on hand when you collect your foreign currency.

There is a minimum order size of $500 and a maximum limit of $5000. You can pick the order up from your local branch in 2-3 business days, but you need to bring some I.D.

2. At the post office

It's the same process of ordering, paying and coming back to collect it. The only difference is you can't pay using BPAY or a credit card. You must use EFTPOS and choose either cheque or savings.
