Travel with Local Currency

Whether you are planning a vacation, sending your child off to study abroad, or going on a business trip, it is a good idea to purchase local currency before embarking on your trip.

If you are traveling abroad, it is a good idea to carry foreign currency with you for things like tips, taxis, and other unforeseen expenses where credit cards may not be accepted. Rather than waiting in line at expensive airport currency exchange houses, let East West Bank provide you with your currency prior to leaving. Our foreign currency exchange service is available nationwide at all of our branch locations.

We offer

  • Competitive exchange rates
  • Over 60 currencies available for purchase or sale
  • Many currencies available for immediate pick up

Note: East West Bank will buy any leftover foreign currency from you upon your return. The purchased currency will be subjected to conversion at the prevailing exchange rate determined by the Bank.

* Foreign currency is available to East West Bank customers only. For purchases of foreign currency under $500 USD or selling back to the bank under the amount of $300 USD, standard fees apply. Bills only. Offer ends 12/31/19. Some transactions may be subject to additional terms and conditions.
