Review of the Tesco Bank, Travel Money:

Amanda 5 star service

Got travel money, had 2 transactions to do, that was not a problem, after the cash was counted, I needed specific amounts of euros, this again was no problem for the cashier, Amanda at the Bangor, north wales store, tip top service for her 5 stars Reviewed on: 6th May 2025

Awful experience online.

Awful experience online. Do not use Tesco Bank online for travel money. Took money held for 14 days without able to collect. Email received stating to attend to collect during this time and refused at kiosk. Terrible customer service, no communication between staff online and in store. No assistance and order cancelled with £10 charge. Still unsure of problem and if it wasn't for Tesco name would assume scam company. Avoid online. Reviewed on: 11th August 2024

Great job thanks!

Initially not a great experience due to poor communication by different team member over the phone. However going into store today I was given a lot more help from Fiona which was really appreciated. Many thanks Reviewed on: 9th August 2024

Appalling customer service

I ordered currency online. In the FAqs it states photo ID is required eg passport or driving licence. They should remove the eg as that is all they will accept. I took other photo ID but was not allowed to collect my money. As I had travelled especially to collect it I asked to cancel the order and my husband who had his driving licence would repurchase it. To do that there was a £10 charge. Totally ridiculous and a money making racket. the person in the kiosk was one of the most unhelpful people I have encountered in a long time. A Tesco staff member told me the currency kiosk wasn’t part of Tesco so I couldn’t complain in store. Reviewed on: 29th April 2024

They told me that if I buy euros with them and then dont spend all of them I can change back commission free. However once I returned to change my unspent euros they charged me £300 because there spread from sell to buy back is like 20% so they dont call it commission but trust me there will be a huge charge to change your money back! Scam scam scam Reviewed on: 28th February 2024
