What's hot
Cash for convenience
Accepted globally
Bank notes, particularly US dollars, are accepted in most countries around the world.
Peace of mind
When visiting a foreign country for the first time, you might not be able to access banks, credit card machines or ATMs for a while (e.g. in rural or secluded areas).
Cash-only countries
In some countries, the locals only accept cash as payment.
Avoid steep banking fees
Overseas banking-related fees might be high, and it helps to purchase small things with notes and coins instead.
How it works
Visit a branch
You can buy foreign notes at your nearest FNB branch.
Order 24 hours before
You should order your foreign notes at least 24 hours in advance.
Buying + selling rates
Due to the cost involved in handling cash, foreign notes are not sold or repurchased at the same rate as other foreign transactions.
