Costa Rica colon exchange rate over the past 90 days
This chart shows the best Costa Rica colon exchange rate recorded at the end of each day from our panel of UK currency suppliers. For more historical rates, see our British pound to Costa Rica colon exchange rate history page.
Get a better deal on your Costa Rica colons
We compare the best pound to Costa Rica colon exchange rates from dozens of the UK's biggest currency suppliers including the Post Office, supermarkets, high street banks and specialist online travel money providers so you can see in an instant who is offering the top deals.
You're currently looking at our Costa Rica colons for home delivery page, but we have range of Costa Rica colon products and services that you might also be interested in:
Send or receive Costa Rica colons between two accounts anywhere in the world. A specialist broker could manage the whole process for you and save you a lot of money.
A secure and flexible alternative to cash. Open an account, add funds to your card and use it anywhere in Costa Rica or the rest of the world at the fraction of the cost of traditional UK bank cards.
Our unique Click & Collect service can help you to find your nearest currency supplier so you can order online and pick your currency up in-store or at the airport.
If you've returned from holiday with some leftover Costa Rica colons, exchange them back into pounds sterling at the best buy back rate. Post your currency or exchange it at your nearest store, no receipt necessary.
Right now, the best Costa Rica colon exchange rate is 727.095 based on our comparison of 9 UK currency suppliers. The worst rate is 672.556. The difference between the best (highest) and worst (lowest) rate is 8.11% which means if you were buying £750 worth of Costa Rica colons you'd get ₡40,904.25 more by going with the best offer.
See all of today's latest Costa Rica colon rates on our comparison table at the top of the page.
The best Costa Rica colon rates are usually offered online by companies that specialise in travel money and foreign exchange. By ordering online, you get access to some of the best Costa Rica colon rates on the market and can also benefit from free home delivery if your order is over a certain amount. See our comparison table above for a list of the top UK currency suppliers offering Costa Rica colons right now.
If you'd rather collect your Costa Rica colons in person, be sure to reserve them online first so you get the best online rate: this particularly applies to supermarkets and the Post Office who all offer better deals when you pre-order currency on their website first.
You should avoid buying Costa Rica colons at the bank or airport because these are the most expensive places to exchange currency. If you're absolutely desperate, try to reserve your Costa Rica colons online for collection at the airport. You'll be able to pick your order up from the departure lounge before you fly and will get a slightly better rate by reserving online first. Use our Costa Rica colon store finder to see if there are any kiosks available the airport you're flying from.
The best time to buy Costa Rica colons is when the pound is performing strongly (relative to the Costa Rica colon) because this leads to higher exchange rates and ultimately means you get more for your money. The amount of Costa Rica colons you receive is calculated by multiplying the exchange rate by the amount of pounds you have, so a higher exchange rate means you get more Costa Rica colons.
In this example, you'll see how a higher exchange rate buys more Costa Rica colons for £750 compared to the lower rate:
£750 * 727.095 = ₡545,321.25
£750 * 672.556 = ₡504,417.00
It is impossible to say precisely when to buy Costa Rica colons because the exchange rate is constantly changing, but you can use our historical Costa Rica colon exchange rate chart above to determine if now is a good time to buy relative to the past. Ultimately, don't worry about trying to pick the perfect time to buy because it doesn't make a huge difference to the amount you'll receive unless you're buying tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of Costa Rica colons (in which case you'll probably want to use a money transfer service).
There is no evidence to suggest that you are better off buying your Costa Rica colons in Costa Rica. Exchange rates are usually very similar to those on offer here in the UK, but by waiting until you're in Costa Rica you run the risk of being stuck with a poor exchange rate and little or no local competition to buy elsewhere. Also, you may have to pay additional fees or commission when buying Costa Rica colons in Costa Rica, whereas when you buy in the UK you know exactly how much you are getting up front with no hidden surprises when you come to buy.
If you want to send money to a bank account in Costa Rica (or anywhere else in the world), you should use a money transfer service to send the funds for you. This is particularly useful for large or regular payments where the exchange rate is important, but you can use a money transfer service to send or receive funds between any overseas bank accounts (for example to pay for goods in Costa Rica, or receive Costa Rica colons into your UK bank account).
You can also use your bank to make a Costa Rica colon transfer, but the fees and poor exchange rate make this a costly option that should only be used as a last resort.
Thousands of customers order travel money on our website every week and the vast majority experience no issues whatsoever. However, as with any online order the process is not entirely risk-free and you should exercise caution when sending money to any company, particularly if you pay by bank transfer.
We undertake strict and comprehensive checks on the companies that we feature, and we monitor them all on a regular basis to ensure they continue to meet our high standards. Having said that, no company is too big to fail and we cannot guarantee the solvency of any of the suppliers who appear on our website. For this reason, we recommend that you conduct your own due diligence before placing an order with any company.
In the unlikely event that something does go wrong after you've placed an order, your payment method will determine how you are financially protected. For more information see: .
Choosing the right payment method
It's important that you understand the different ways that you can pay for your travel money because the payment method you choose determines how you are financially protected if something goes wrong with the supplier.
Bank Transfer
There is no financial protection if you pay by bank transfer, so if a supplier goes bust with your money you are unlikely to get it back. We recommend you choose an alternative payment method where one is available such as debit or credit card because they offer more financial protection.
Debit Card
If you pay by debit card your funds are protected in the event of fraud or non-receipt under the card issuer's product and service rules. If a supplier goes bust you can instruct your bank to make a chargeback request against the supplier's bank which means you have a good chance of recovering your money.
Credit Card
If you pay by credit card you have full legal protection under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. Section 75 states that the card issuer is equally liable with the provider of goods in cases where goods are not received which means your card issuer is legally required to reimburse you for the full amount (from £100 to a maximum of £30,000) if the supplier goes bust. However, it's worth noting that credit cards usually incur additional bank charges and interest (around £40 extra per £1000 spent) so you should balance up the benefits of full legal protection with the added costs of paying by credit card.

FCA Registration and Authorisation
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the regulatory body for financial service providers in the UK. Part of the FCA's job is to ensure that companies who offer 'regulated activities' are acting in the best interests of consumers by requiring them to register or become authorised. Being registered or authorised by the FCA does not guarantee a company's solvency, but authorised companies are required to segregate all customer funds which means you have a better chance of recovering your money if the company goes bust.
Travel Money is not classified as a regulated activity by the FCA which means companies who solely provide travel money are exempt from registering, although they may choose to do so voluntarily. Companies who provide other foreign exchange services such as international money transfers may have to register with the FCA, and companies with a monthly turnover greater than €3M must be authorised by the FCA regardless of the products or services they provide.
