I know they’re famous for good rates according to online reviews. But my experience was a little off. I prebooked my amount and went to the shop towards the closing time like 15min before. The shop wa... See more

I use the London city branch to buy US$ for use in Zambia. For whatever reason the Zambians prefer new bills (eg 2017 series or later). When I ask for this at Thomas Exchange they produce the new notes with no bother. Could not ask for more! 👏👏👏
Easy currency transfer
Used the Putney branch twice. Very quick and easy with good rates. The store manager Rumesh kept me updated when Taiwanese dollars were not in stock
Easy to exchange
Easy to exchange, simple service & great rates. We'll continue using TEG if rates are unbeatable.
It was quick and easy!
It was a quick and easy experience! I ordered bulgarian lev online and it only took a day to arrive.

Best exchange rates but could do better if they could?
My currency order
I was able to order my currency and know I was going to get the best possible rate. Also getting an alert that my currency was ready for collection was very helpful.
Inflexible minimum policy
Thomas Exchange Global has a £100 minimum policy. I was trying to convert to HUF. For £99.01, I could have had what I wanted but it was below their minimum to convert. In the end I had to exchange just over £111 as they did not have any denominations lower than 1000 HUF. That is more than 10% in HUF then I wanted. For 99 pence, this seems a bit harsh.
Terrible service
I did click &sell DKK and gone out of my way to Swiss Cottage branch only to be told they don’t buy certain denominations. I asked the cashier to call head office and she said they don’t answer calls 10 minutes before closing. Terrible service

Called up to ask for exchange rate & was told by some con artist that they dont give out exchange rates over the phone.. hilarious! Called several other money exchanges & this one or its staff seem a little dishonest.
Date of exp22/6/23 & 23/6/23
Apparently it's there policy to waste customers time & have them walk around with bundles of cash on you hoping that your stupid enough not to shop around looking for the best price & dumb enough to take their offer because they think there smart.
I'd avoid this place at all costs
Kind attention

Ordered online and the order was ready a couple of hours later. Good exchange rate.
Easy to order
Easy to order, plenty of outlets to collect currency. Very good rates and low denomination notes available.
