Bought £324 worth of Euros
Do NOT buy foreign currency at the Gatwick ATMs. The exchange rate is the biggest rip-off you will ever see in FX dealing.
100 euros today should cost 86 sterling; the machine charged 108.

Sold Mauritian rupees
Awful experience
Rude staff.
I don’t recommend Oxford Street / Bond St Stn London branch. Male staff member needs to be send for customer service training.
They charge handling fee and service fee. It’s a joke.

Bought £100 worth of Euros
Total rip off
Purchased Euros at Gatwick Airport.
Exchange rate was 20-25% worse than elsewhere. Excessive.
They have a monopoly at the airport, they're abusing that. Buy before going to airport.

AVIOD AVIOD AVIOD !!!
AVIOD AVIOD AVIOD !!!
the fact that Gatwick Airport seems to not have a problem with this company systematically robbing people is disgusting, ( maybe there on a commission!?)
This company exchange rates are up to double of any other bureau de change. Surly there must be some kind of regulations against day light robbery.........

Totally rip off and scamming, do not change your money with this company when you're on London.
I changed my money at one of their branches located in Soho, 95 Charing Cross and I was shocked of what I was given. The man clear didn't mention about the 14% service fee as well as the 3% handling fee until he handed me the money. And when I confronted him, he told me "go claim it on our website" shame on you ChangeGroup and these horrible dishonest people working for you.

Bought £60 worth of Egyptian pounds
Just don't go there is my advice.
Exchange rate from this lot? For Egyptian pounds - £1 buys you 17.85 Egyptian pounds.
Without even trying on arrival in Egypt and using an ATM, I'm getting just under 30 Egyptian pounds for my £1.
Yes - my £1 will buy me 2/3 more Egyptian pounds in Egypt than it will at Gatwick airport.
Gatwick airport - you should be ashamed of yourselves for giving this bunch of rip-off merchants an exclusive contract.
It is quite frankly licensed robbery - and I so wish I had read the reviews here before going to the airport.
Please - benefit from my mistake and go anywhere except here.

Bought travel money
Upon arriving at Gatwick airport,I decided to withdraw money from a Change Group ATM as it stated free withdrawals. Inserting a Spanish debit card i withdrew 460euro. Checking my bank account I was charged 23euro by my bank but 579euro and 13 cents was charged by this group from my account. Having received 460 euro and had 579.13 euro taken I complained to their head office and got zero help. Do not have any dealings with this group.

Sold 2,000 US dollars
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS…
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES USE THIS COMPANY!!!!
O only wish l checked this site before except l was dead tired after a trans-Atlantic flight. It was 6;00 am and l wad SOOO tired and l SPECIFICALLY ASKED THE AGENT if there was any extra cost to change the money. I asked “will doing it at my bank be the same price” and she looked me right in the face and said IT IS!!!
I said it seems like the exchange rate is higher than when l left. She says it fluctuates. So after handing over $1500 to be exchanged to pounds, she asked for an additional 600 and said we can just round up.
When l got home AND SLEPT l checked that they charged me an extra 30 Pence which doesnt sound like much, but it came out to over $600!!! THEY STOLE!!!
THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEVES!!!
