Need to Swap Euros for HUF

Posted by Historical-Market533@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 8 comments

Hi.

Does anyone know how Correct Change works? Can I just go there and exchange my euros for HUF?

I know I know card is better and I do usually pay by card and don’t carry cash with me at all, but I need cash for somethin for school, and they don’t accept cards. I could just withdraw money, but I have some euro cash, which aren’t really useful here ya know so tryna use them instead.

Someone recommended Correct Change, so I wanted to ask if that’s the best option...maybe? Do they charge you for currency exchange?

1.31% ? That crazy

Yeah they charge you but I don't think you'll find a better option.

Their web page says the fee is 0.9% (but not more than 34900HUF).

Out of the two prices shown on the web site, calculate with the cheaper one, as they will buy the Euros from you.

If it is under 200€s i would rather go to an ATM and get some HUFs there. It is usually cheaper, especially if you have Revolut or similar. (But do not use the Euro Net ATMs those are scams.)

I think you'd get like 380 to 400 HUF for one Euro but I don't know it 100%

of course they charge you, that's how they keep themselves in business
