currency exchanges

Foreign money bureaus

Currency exchanges are businesses or services that convert one national currency into another, typically for travelers or international transactions.

The term also refers to the transactions themselves: I made several currency exchanges during my trip through Europe.

Currency exchange rates fluctuate based on economic conditions, and exchange services charge fees or build profit into their rates.
