Damaged money I bought 700 dollars for my trip to SE Asia. Nearly half of them have been refused for having rips and pen marks. Will never use them again. Reviewed on: 14th February 2026

I have ordered online the travel money. Great service. Received in time at Potters Bar Tesco. Served by Richard. Reviewed on: 16th August 2024

Awful experience online.

1
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

1
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
