    Jorge really helped me out, got me Egyptian pounds with little notice, something no one else in LA seemed to be able to do. I’m thrilled with the service, and so glad to have some hard currency on hand in advance to take some of the stress out of the arrival process in country.

    Jorge the manager at this location could not have been more helpful to me on this exchange! I requested specific denominations of bills and he ordered them for me, texted me to tell me when it had arrived and was as incredibly pleasant to work with as possible! I’ve been here a number of times in the past and will certainly continue to come back. Plus it’s so convenient and you can make a trip to Eataly when you’re done!

Frequently Asked Questions About Currency Exchange International

What is an exchange rate and how does it work?

An exchange rate between two currencies is the price of a country's currency in relation to another currency (called a currency pair). An exchange rate thus has two components, the domestic currency and a foreign currency. Currencies can be quoted either directly (how much 1 domestic currency unit, for example: $1USD is X amount of Euros, is worth in the foreign currency) or indirectly (how much 1 foreign currency unit, for example: 1 Euro is X amount of USD, is worth in the domestic currency).

What is CXI’s Best Rate Guarantee?

This guarantee means CXI's company-owned location will match or beat the exchange rate given by any local bank or airport for the same product and service on the same day and time of the exchange. If you find a better rate within the same city and on the same day as the CXI branch you plan to exchange with, notify the CXI branch. Our branch will confirm that the rate you present is for the same amount and currency as you plan to exchange with CXI. Once confirmed with the bank or airport, CXI will match or beat the given rate. This is only valid prior to an exchange and is not valid after an exchange has already been completed. Best Rate Guarantee cannot be applied to online purchases for Home Delivery Please note that the policies of affiliate-owned locations listed on our website may vary – please contact affiliate-owned locations at their listed phone number to confirm whether they offer this Best Rate Guarantee.
