We buy back leftover holiday money

Don’t let leftover travel money go to waste. We buy back foreign currency to give your spare cash new life. Just lock in your rate online and take it to one of our instore bureaux and we’ll buy it back from you. Nectar members get better rates on leftover holiday money.**

We offer currency buy back for most foreign currency notes in denominations we sell (buy back rates vary daily). You’ll receive your money in notes and coins in Pounds. In addition, we have coin collection boxes in our bureaux where you can deposit your foreign coins. These coins are then donated to charity, making a meaningful difference in the lives of those in need.

FAQs

How often are exchange rates updated?

Rates are updated frequently throughout the day to reflect market changes.

Can I convert back to pounds?

Yes. Use Click & Sell online to convert your leftover foreign banknotes back into pounds quickly and easily, or visit your nearest bureaux.

What exchange rate will I get if I decide to buy?

You’ll see your exact rate during checkout online or in a bureau before you pay. Rates can differ by channel and time of day. Nectar members get an even better rate on eligible foreign currency purchases**.

Why is the converter rate different from the “market” rate I see elsewhere?

Market or “mid-market” rates are wholesale. Retail travel money rates include our costs and may vary by currency and availability.

Are online and instore rates the same?

Not always. Rates can differ between online and bureau. We’ll show the rate you’ll get before you pay.

Will I be charged any fees if I buy after using the converter?

There’s 0% commission on banknotes. Home Delivery is free on orders of £500 or more and £4.99 for £100 to £499.99. Card issuer fees may apply. We’ll show any fees before you confirm.

I need cash today. What’s the quickest way?

Check stock and rates in your nearest bureau and buy instore, or start your order online. Choose your currency and amount, pick a convenient Sainsbury’s Travel money bureau and a collection date, then pay securely. We’ll confirm your earliest collection time at checkout and send your confirmation by email.
