Looking for currency exchange in Dallas? Here is a look at the different options.
ATM Withdrawal or Credit Card
If you use your ATM withdrawal from your foreign bank account or pay using your credit card, you may be charged a local ATM fee, your bank’s fee for withdrawing money from an ATM, and a foreign currency fee from your bank.
Cash Withdrawal on your Credit Card
This withdrawal would also incur fees, including a local ATM fee, your bank’s fee for withdrawing money from an ATM, a foreign currency fee from your bank and also cash advance charges on the credit card.
Traveler’s Checks in US Dollars
You may have to pay for these at a less advantageous rate in your home country due to the issuing fee. However, if you use them (as you would use cash) in the U.S., there is no additional charge and many hotels will cash them for you for no charge. However, there are very few hotels, retail outlets that accept this fading form of payment.
Traveler’s Checks in Foreign Currency
If you get traveler’s check in your home currency, you will have to pay a commission fee in order to convert the foreign traveler’s checks into U.S. dollars. This will be over and above a retail exchange rate.
