Smart Tips for Exchanging Vanuatu Vatu
Compare exchange rates before selling VUV
Always check rates from multiple exchangers or banks to find the best VUV to AUD (or other currency) rate. Even a small difference can make a big impact, especially with larger amounts.
Avoid airport and hotel exchange desks
These locations usually offer weaker VUV rates and higher margins. Plan your exchange in advance to avoid losing value at last-minute counters.
Choose providers with no hidden fees
Look for clear, upfront pricing. A good VUV rate isn’t helpful if service charges or commissions reduce what you actually receive.
Sell during favorable market movements
VUV exchange rates can fluctuate due to market and regional factors. If you’re not in a hurry, keep an eye on trends and exchange when conditions are more favorable.
Use trusted, well-reviewed money exchangers
Stick to licensed and reputable exchangers. Strong reviews and a solid reputation help ensure accurate counting, fair rates, and a safe transaction.
Limits & Restrictions
Minimum Amounts
There is no minimum amount when selling Vanuatu Vatu (VUV). Whether you have a small amount of leftover notes or a larger sum, we’re happy to exchange it.
Maximum Amounts
We can handle large VUV transactions. For higher-value exchanges, we may request valid ID, conduct a brief source-of-funds check, or ask for a short wait while your payout is prepared. This is standard practice for licensed and regulated money exchangers in Australia.
Selling VUV Worth $10,000 AUD or More
If your VUV exchange is $10,000 AUD equivalent or above, please bring valid identification and allow extra time for compliance checks.
To ensure smooth processing, calling ahead to confirm cash availability is recommended. For larger payouts, bank transfer or PayID is often the fastest and safest option.

Where to Sell Vanuatu Vatu in Australia
Selling Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) in Australia is quick, safe, and straightforward with Danesh Exchange.
If you’re wondering where to sell VUV in Australia, you generally have three main options:
Banks
Some banks may accept Vanuatu Vatu (VUV), but they are rarely the most cost-effective option.
Buy-back rates are often poor, processing can be slow, and additional service or handling fees may apply.
While banks feel familiar, they usually do not offer competitive VUV-to-AUD rates,
especially for cash exchanges.
Specialist Currency Exchange Providers
Specialist exchangers like Danesh Exchange are often the best choice for selling VUV.
They offer:
- Competitive VUV exchange rates
- No hidden fees or commissions
- Fast, friendly service
- Reliable availability for both small and large amounts
Whether you’re selling a small bundle of notes or a higher-value amount,
Danesh Exchange makes it simple to sell Vanuatu Vatu in Australia at a fair price.
Airport Kiosks
Airport exchange counters may accept foreign currency, but VUV is often exchanged at very poor rates.
Even when accepted, airport kiosks typically apply high margins, meaning you receive far less AUD than
you would at a specialist exchanger. While convenient, airports are not recommended
for selling Vanuatu Vatu.


What Vanuatu Vatu Notes We Accept
The Vanuatu Vatu (VUV) is the official currency of Vanuatu and is used for all everyday transactions across the country.
While VUV is primarily used within Vanuatu, it is commonly exchanged by travellers, expatriates, and businesses dealing with the Pacific region. Outside Vanuatu, VUV is usually exchanged through specialist currency exchangers rather than banks.
Locally, the currency is referred to as “vatu”, and prices are typically quoted without decimals.
VUV Banknote Denominations
Vanuatu Vatu banknotes currently in circulation include:
200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 vatu
Keeping your VUV notes sorted by denomination helps ensure faster counting and smoother transactions, especially when exchanging larger amounts or visiting busy exchange counters.
Old and damaged banknotes
We only accept Vanuatu Vatu banknotes that are currently in circulation. Notes that are too old, heavily damaged, or discontinued may not be accepted. Our team will assess them on the spot and guide you on the best next steps.
