Bought £300 worth of Euros
Yesterday
Went to take out €300 last weekend and the charge on the machine to my account was £374.86. I cancelled before this absurdly bad deal was transacted. At the destination my €300 cost me £286.40 from a standard ATM

Ordered a prepaid Euro card

Extremely poor service. They got my address wrong when I set up the card and wouldn’t change it even after two sets of security checks. They wanted proof of address and passport details sent to them to correct their error. Not worth the hassle!

Nightmare. You get conned into getting this card for a better exchange rate then they make it impossible for you to get the balance off the card or even use the card. The card did not and never did work abroad. I am now 15 minutes into a call which has taken me two months to get the time to actually do. They finally exchanged my 52 euros to £42 then deducted £6. Avoid. The lady I dealt with was very nice but it doesn't help!

Bought £472 worth of Euros
4 July 2019
My daughter went travelling down Italy last Tuesday morning. I dropped her off at Gatwick at 4.30am. I had given her some cash to pay for her accommodation and instructed her to change it at the airport....BIG mistake. She did as I had suggested and used a company called Moneycorp. Well, this ethical and righteous company think it is fair and competitive to charge 20% to change money. Yes...20%. My 18 year old was charged £472 in exchange for 430 euros. Now the exchange rate according to google on that day was 1.12 euros to the £. But Moneycorp think it is ok to have a rate of 0.9 euros to the £. So she was basically charges £98 to change £472 into euros. And after communicating with the head office, the company has defended their rates as fair and competitive.
PLEASE DO YOURSELVES A FAVOUR AND NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN. They need to learn a lesson. Please feel free to share this with all your friends, because my mission now is to cost that company 1000 times what they charged my daughter in lost revenue. If I could give this company zero stars I would.

Hi Saverio,
Our margins are higher at airports due to the significant costs associated with operating there. To secure better rates, we always recommend pre-ordering through our Reserve & Collect service https://travelmoney.moneycorp.com/?id.

Like so many others, I feel robbed. MoneyCorp have mislead us to a degree that borders on illegal activity.
They quote £91.85 for €100 online but they charge £124.11(+35%) at the airport ATM.

Bought £306 worth of Moroccan dirham
3 July 2019
more than a rip off, i call this stealing money.
Was going to Marrakech, gave them £306.38 and i only received 2000 dirham when i should have received around 3600 dirham which is nearly double that what they gave me.
So it is like if they charged me around £130.00 for the exchange.
I am absolutely fuming, this is stealing, you should be embarrassed,
I will never ever use your services again.
Big big robber

Bought £249 worth of Moroccan dirham

Absolutely horrified. My friend and I are first time travellers (both 19) who were going to Morocco from Standsted airport, we spoke to the lady at the desk who convinced us exchanging money here will be a lot safer than doing so at Morocco which we agreed on. (It was very clear we where going to MOROCCO = MAD currency exchange)
She exchanged us a rate from Australian Dollars to United Arab Emirates Dirham instead of Moroccon Dirham (which is a lot higher than MAD) For eg; the correct MAD we should have got back from $480 AUD = 2800 MAD, we received 1200 MAD (the rate of UED) that is a difference of $240 AUD. We trusted this service and went off this rate for 4 days into our travel until we worked out what had happened. We then read through these reviews and understood we had been fooled. Do NOT use this service!

Pre ordered 300 euros for collection at Bristol airport, rate ok but not as good as Tesco, ASDA etc. But thought convenience worth it. At the end of the transaction a “collection fee” of £4.99 added. Utterly ridiculous - means that you are paying well over the odds. To me this is an opaque way to “hide” a truly uncompetitive rate. AVOID
