Sell Your Foreign Currency at the Best Exchange Rate in Australia

When you’re selling foreign currency, the rate you receive makes a big difference. Many travellers are surprised by how much more they get when they sell their leftover banknotes with a specialist like Danesh Exchange instead of a bank or airport kiosk.

Why Airport Kiosks Are More Expensive

Airport exchange counters operate in premium, high‑rent locations and rely on travellers who need last‑minute services. Because of this, they typically offer the lowest sell rates and the highest margins. Convenience comes at a cost — and that cost is usually taken straight out of your exchange value.

Why Banks Offer Poor Sell Rates

Banks aren’t focused on foreign cash. Their priority is digital banking, not currency exchange. As a result, they often:

• Use wide margins to cover handling and processing
• Offer generic, non‑competitive rates
• Provide limited currencies and slower service

This means you walk away with noticeably less AUD for the same banknotes.

Why Danesh Exchange Offers Better Value

As a dedicated currency specialist, we monitor market movements daily and price our rates competitively. With no commission, no hidden fees, and transparent pricing, you keep more of your money — exactly how it should be.

A Simple Comparison Example

If you sold the same amount of foreign currency at three places:

• At the airport, you’d receive the least due to high margins.
• At a bank, you’d get slightly more, but still below market value.
• At Danesh Exchange, you’d receive a significantly better return thanks to our competitive, specialist pricing and zero fees.

Selling with us means more Australian dollars in your pocket — without the unnecessary costs.

Customers often ask whether there’s a minimum or maximum amount they can sell — especially if they’re dealing with large sums or small leftovers from a trip.

Here’s how it works at Danesh Exchange:

Minimum Amounts

There is no strict minimum for selling foreign currency. Whether you have a handful of leftover notes or a larger amount, we’re happy to help.

Maximum Amounts

You can sell large amounts of foreign currency with us. For higher‑value transactions, we may need:

• Additional ID verification
• A quick source‑of‑funds explanation
• A brief wait while we prepare the payout

This is standard practice for all regulated currency exchanges in Australia.

Selling $10,000 or More

If you’re planning to sell $10,000 AUD equivalent or above, we recommend:

• Bringing your ID
• Allowing a little extra time for compliance checks
• Calling ahead if you want to confirm stock availability for cash payouts

Bank transfer and PayID are often the fastest and most convenient options for larger amounts.
