Sort notes by currency and denomination in advance. This speeds up verification and lowers the chance of mistakes when rates move quickly.
Prepare a simple envelope system: one envelope per currency and one for receipts after exchange.
Keep passports or ID ready for larger transactions. Some branches may request identification depending on amount and local compliance rules.
Check each note for heavy folds, tears, or marks. Better note condition often means smoother acceptance and fewer pricing disputes.
If you are traveling with a group, assign one person to handle documents and one to verify counted totals.
Choose licensed counters, ask for printed receipts, and verify counted totals before leaving the desk.
