Tesco Bank Travel Money reviews (60)

Review of the Tesco Bank, Travel Money:

Bad Service Awful Communication

1
They failed to deliver the money I ordered on time. When I chased their systems were down and had no idea where the money was. Lisa Moyses the manager looking into my complaint was rude, unhelpful and unprofessional in dealing with my complaint. Reviewed on: 19th December 2022

Use at your peril

Ordered £2500 Turkish lira. Received money and the highest denomination was 100 Turkish lira. I have over 400 notes. 100 Turkish lira is worth around £5. Totally unacceptable and when I phoned to ask if they could exchange them for higher value notes I was told I could return to store where they would buy them back at a lesser value so I would be out of pocket or I could return by post and wait for a refund again at a cost to myself. Totally disgusted with Tesco and their customer service. I would never use again, truly shocking experience with diabolical customer care. Reviewed on: 16th May 2022

Lost the money in the post and don't keep you updated

1
I ordered my money to be delivered and 4 days and 4 phone calls later they still have no idea where it is and don't feel the need to keep me updated. I travel in 3 days and still have no money. Reviewed on: 12th May 2022

Amazing service at Crewe Tesco

Was unsure about how to order my currency for a trip to Costa Rica. The man in the travel money desk was super helpful and ordered my currency and phoned me when it arrived early so I could pick it up when shopping. He also knew about my destination and advised me to take some small US dollars as well as a back up Reviewed on: 17th April 2022

Tesco is great if you need travel money as they have generally good rates and you can do your shopping at the same time. Reviewed on: 15th September 2020

Tesco Travel Money - Dreadful experience

1
Appalling service, big mistake made by customer assistant at Tesco Travel Money, Hibel Rd, Macclesfield. I complained to Tesco Travel Money who would not take any responsibility or compensate so I ended up seriously out of pocket. I will not be using Tesco Travel Money or Travelex again !
