Total scam and a robbery. Do not use them at London Gatwick Airport. It was an early morning flight and we blindly bought 500 euros that costed us £528. I then checked their rate online on the same day 500 euros should have costed us £432. Queried it with the firm online but was basically told they they have a huge level of overhead and this is their way of maintaining their operations at Gatwick. This is criminal and it should be reported.

Worst experience ever. Complete rip off and scam. We were charged €97 euro to withdraw money at Gatwick airport. When we went back to the man to complain he was completely rude and did not help us. Do not use this company, I can’t believe Gatwick airport hosts them on their premise. Disgusting

If i could give them less than one star, I would. I honestly feel like I have had the p*** taken right out of me. £200 for 400 Bulgarian Lev? Where as my friends went elsewhere and got 560 for £250? Absolute joke, after reading the reviews I don't understand how this place is still a thing.

This is a rip-off company, a money thief. The hidden cost of exchange is closed to 30%, how could the financial authority allow such business practice in UK?
I will file a police report as well, so angry and very upset..
Not to deal with this group, be alert!!

A total rip-off by people very used to this way of doing business!
Today I went to the ChangeGroup bureau in New York, 315 Madison Avenue, to change some foreign currencies into US dollars.
The lady at the counter gave me an average rate (6% off mid market) which I accepted, but she then gave much less money than what corresponded to that rate.
Before I accepted the transaction I questioned the amount and, before responding to my question, she printed the ticket: it showed a handling charge of 19% when the company advertises 0% in their window.
I said that this had not been made clear and that I did not agree with the deal, and asked for my money back. But she refused, and she told me that she as she had printed the ticket she could not cancel the transaction (when she printed it after I questioned the amount!). When I asked her if she could cancel a transaction if she had made a mistake she refused to answer.
She refused to let me talk to her bosses and I eventually had to call the police for help as she refused to cancel the transaction and left the US dollars on the counter, saying that if I did not take them and something happened to them it would be my responsibility.
While waiting for the police she discussed with one of her friends telling him that "the police would always believe the version of a coloured overweight woman instead of a white man". Shocking!!
When the police arrived she told them that her bosses just told her to get me out of the place.
The police suggested I got to the company's headquarter to make a formal complaint, and later acknowledged that they had similar complaints about that company before.
So the real charge for their services, including all their hidden commissions, is 26%: a total rip-off by people very used to this way of doing business!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!!
Wish I had read the reviews before I changed my money with Change Group. They are shrewd scammers and should be shut down. They fail to advise on the high fees they charge when giving rates. Use them at you own peril, most of your hard earned money will be swallowed up in fees.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM!
