Review of the Tesco Bank, Travel Money:

Excellent service from my local Bishops Cleeve branch.

Awful experience.

Awful experience. They don't keep me updated on royal mail deliver status. Yesterday they attempted delivery at 10am, and then today they haven't even attempted by 1pm, which is supposed to be guaranteed. I still don't have my travel money. Stay away from tesco travel money Reviewed on: 21st February 2024

Good and fast service, money can easily be ordered online Reviewed on: 18th February 2024

Doesn't let you make a purchase online

Online exchange rate is always better - unfortunately it doesn't let you make the transaction. They give you a number to call for assistance - unfortunately they don't help, they tell you try another device and when you tell them that you have already done this they say they don't know then. Maybe they want you to buy from one of their bureaus where you get a rubbish exchange rate. I went with Sainsbury online in the end, it was simple and quick - and it works!

Helpful and friendly

Staff helpful and friendly and excellent feedback from their team Reviewed on: 9th October 2023

Collection Desk Closed

Advised to collect currency after 3pm, arrived just after 3pm to find lady had just gone on a 30 minute break. Couldn't wait and there was no guarantee they wouldn't be on a break the following day so had to cancel order. Now have to wait up to 10 working days to get my money back. Very poor service. Reviewed on: 5th October 2023

Holiday ruined

I live in a rural place. Bought and arranged currency collection for 5 days after purchase. Went to collect. Not there. No idea when it would be delivered. We were moving to the city that evening en route to flying out. Eventually they agreed to a refund so I could purchase elsewhere. I’m still waiting on this. I now need to pay a second time for currency. Really really disappointed in the customer service and the “couldn’t care less” attitude of the Tesco customer service desk employee and the people in the help centre. Get your money elsewhere and save yourself some grief. Reviewed on: 16th September 2023

Brilliant

Ordered Euro`s on line late Monday evening . Rate really good . Collected from local store from customer services 7 p.m 2 days later . Asked to check notes before collecting . Good assortmant of 20,10,5 Euro notes ,plus a couplwe of 50 Euro`s . Well done Tesco for brilliant service . Reviewed on: 17th August 2023

Absolute Rip Off

Before you deal with Tesco Holiday Money, Check their Buy Back Rates. Paid £250 foe Bulgarian Lev, their Buy Back offer was only £192. Not Good. Reviewed on: 11th July 2023

Keep away from ordering online

I ordered 1200 in euros and I got 800 in 100 euro notes which I struggled to use as no place would take them definitely not recommend to get your euros online. Then when I got back for tesco to buy them back I would lose £114 Reviewed on: 30th May 2023

BEST EUROS EXCHANGE RATE & A 5* SERVICE!!

Tesco had the best Euros exchange rate I could find online, the online ordering service was simple & the Euros were deliivered soon after, with a good range of notes. NO PROBS WHATSOVER - WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?!!! Reviewed on: 13th May 2023
