Now I don’t know what was going on or what questions the couple had but for 45 minutes today (check the cameras) 07/20, the line began to grow and no one seemed to care. 45 minutes with one employee interacting with one couple. There has to be a better way.

Post covid (all the currency exchange stores closed at BWI) they’re the only drop in currency game in proximity to Baltimore. Banks have worse rates and need a minimum 3 business days, but they were able to accommodate me on the spot for an international trip. Had a great experience using them and would highly recommend! I called ahead to make sure they had the currency I needed but they seem to stock quite a few.

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.
Is it safe to order foreign currency online?

How does currency reservation work?
First, select your desired currency and a branch location for pick up. On the Cart page, enter how much of that currency you want to reserve (an indication rate will be used for your reference) or the USD equivalent. If you want to add another currency select “Add New Currency” and enter the amount for this as well. Once you have all of the currencies you’d like to reserve, select “Proceed to Checkout”. You will now enter your contact information and select “Reserve Currency”. You will see a confirmation of your order and a confirmation will be sent to your provided email address. CXI's representative will contact with you and confirm when the reserved order will be available for pick up. You will pay for the order when you pick up the reserved currency.
What do I do with the foreign currency I bought at CXI when I get back from my trip?
If you are returning with foreign currency, CXI will be happy to exchange it back to USD at one of our 30+ retail branches. The rate will be the buyback exchange rate of the day you bring in the foreign currency. Don't forget it's also covered by our Best Rate Guarantee.
Does CXI exchange foreign coins?
CXI now exchanges the following coins at our branch locations:
1 & 2 EUR
1 & 2 CAD

How long will the branch keep my currency reservation?
The branch will keep your currency on hand for 7 business days before putting it back into inventory. If you will not be able to pick it up within 7 business days, please call your local CXI branch.
What is the difference between an exchange rate for Home Delivery and an indication rate for Reservation?
Branch Pickup Reservations
Our exchange rates are locked in every weekday at our branches around 8 AM EST. The rate you receive when you make the online reservation is the exchange rate (indication rate) of that day, so it is good for that day only. The exchange rate you pay will be that of the day when you actually pick up and pay for the currency. The indication rate gives you a good reference point as currency exchange rates typically move less than 3% day to day.
Home Delivery Orders
Our exchange rates are locked in every weekday online around 8 AM EST. Home Delivery Orders are paid for when you complete the online checkout at the exchange rate displayed. Home Delivery does not use indication rates.
