Super quick, very friendly, and easy money exchange. Today is October 1st, 2024 and I exchanged $220 for 4,000 Mexican Pesos. The transaction fee was an additional $3. They give you a wide variety of bills. And they said that as long as I keep my receipt they will waive a buy back fee if I decide to sell my leftover Mexican Pesos back to them. I can't remember, but the worker also said spend all coins as they don't give you a good rate on buying back coins. I was in and out in less than 2 minutes. read more

This currency exchange area is reasonably for the fees. We were able to get the Turkish dollar here. The time we visited has not much of wait. The exchange fees also reasonable for the need. We call early to if they have the currency we need. They do carry many countries currency. The exchange is painless. read more

The Florida currency exchange now locates inside the food court of international mall next to the entrance. We usually come here to exchange currency before the overseas trip. The exchange rate is good and they have good service with reasonable fee. They carry wide range of foreign currency and if you didn't finish using them, bring them back and exchange back to US dollars. I think this is a cool store that provides convenient currency exchange for travelers or foreigners visiting Tampa. read more

Transaction went well. Good exchange rate. Friendly worker behind the counter. Clean cubicle.

Excessive exchange rates and hidden costs ​I am extremely disappointed with the exchange rates at this location. I came in to exchange $450 USD worth of Mexican Pesos and ended up losing $50 in the conversion alone--nearly 11% of my total--on top of a $5 service fee. ​I checked the mid-market bank rates for that specific day, and while I understand businesses have a spread, this margin is predatory. When there are limited options for currency exchange, customers expect fair pricing, not to be ripped off. I will not be returning and suggest others check the current rates online before stepping foot in here read more

They are totally amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about them. That young man went over and above his job to help me out. I went to the Florida currency exchange and countryside Mall in Clearwater. read more

Pretty good exchange rate. Friendly service. Easy process. I used the 50% fees for Yelp check-in. read more

They do what they say they do efficiently and with no fuss. Convenient location and hours. Would glady return

This business was easy to use, they honored the Yelp! coupon and had decent prices. Not so easy to find (at the far end of a half-empty mall) and they basically don't take coins. But, now I've replaced that annoying €20 bill in my wallet with $19 USD. read more

The exchange is in the center aisle in front of Penneys (closed) and H&M store. The gentleman was very polite and informative. Fair exchange rate and low fee. I will definitely use their services again for other trips. read more

Easy and cheaper than the ATMs in Portugal! Highly recommend! Courteous and helpful staff

Zach was very helpful! He was pleasant, informative, prompt and provided recommendations on how to break down the currency. Zach ensured we understood each fee and went over our receipt in detail without being asked. read more

I found the service great. reasonable exchange rate and a low fee. the only trouble I had was locating it in the mall. I thought the reviews said it was in the food court. it's actually in front of Penney's. read more

They really do try to work with you on a transaction it's just that one of the staff members was young, probably new and not knowledgeable on the currency so they had to call the boss a few times so it took a while. The other staff member didn't seem to know as well or just didn't want to help. I'd expect the staff to know more about currency types than me but I guess not this time. Overall they got me sorted out, it just took a while. read more

Quick easy and convenient. Prices are posted so no surprises. I did check in on yelp for 50% off fees. read more

In and out in just a few minutes. I checked the rates between this location and the local bank. Almost equal. If you need currency in a short amount of time, go here immediately read more

Wait time was a problem. There was a small line when we arrived but it became quite clear that the real problem was a single customer holding up the line since one of the two employees was involved with this individual who was on the phone constantly. If you aren't prepared to make the transaction then the customers waiting and that are ready should be taken care of and the problem transaction individual moved aside to make the resolution and enter into the line again. Considering wait time I am better off going to my bank and transacting from cash to currency of choice since I am able to complete at time of entering airport branch. read more

Lee Przywara and Ron are the finest examples of the good that is coming from the COVID-19 pandemic. In an attempt to make this Easter special for my daughters, I tried to obtain a small amount of currency from New Zealand, Australia and some Euros (France) for their Easter egg hunt. They each have been passionate about visiting these countries. Having this currency hidden in eggs for their Easter egg hunt would be the greatest surprise and gift for this Easter. I tried obtaining the currency from Chase, Wells Fargo and Bank of America and understandably, the currency had to be ordered well in advance and my idea came too late. I left a message on the Foreign Currency Exchange voicemail as my last hope and received a call back within 20 minutes from Lee. Not only did Lee and Ron have the New Zealand and Australian currency, upon hearing what I planned to do, Lee said they would like to donate the currency to the girls to make their Easter special. Who does this? Well, I found out today. Lee and Ron at Foreign Currency Exchange (https://www.txcurrencyexchange.com/) generously shared some paper and coin currency with my girls to make this Easter one they'll never forget. While mine was going to be a small transaction to begin with, it didn't matter to them. Big or small, every customer matters to them. I'll be ever grateful to these gentlemen for this selfless act of kindness. read more

Ingrid was incredibly knowledgeable and efficient, thorough and professional. Great experience.

Great service and a reasonable fee. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling out of the country to get the right currency.

I've come here often in the last several years that I've lived in Florida to exchange currency. Conveniently located in the mall I can always find plenty of parking and a helpful staff person. This time it's euros again but Krona as well. Always check the exchange rates not only in front of this kiosk But online as well in a Bloomberg news or something with the ticker. If you're not in a hurry for your exchanges you can always watch the currency as it does fluctuate American dollar versus European currency's. I've also done buy backs here coming home with a little bit of the excess euros I never have a problem returning or exchanging.Getting all the currency exchange prior to the excursions is much more beneficial than trying to do it at the airport when you land or at any local ATMs. Only a few banks handle foreign currency exchanges anymore and probably there mostly in New York. read more

Visited the Westshore Mall location. Very helpful and they answered all my questions with great professionalism. I recommend going by and checking them out. read more

I went to Bank of America (which I bank with) to buy some yen for my upcoming move to Japan. They informed me that they'd be happy to order it for me -- which would take a couple of days -- or I could go to the Currency Exchange counter in the food court of the West Shore Mall. I figured if the bank was endorsing it, then it couldn't be too bad. What BofA didn't tell me was that the Currency Exchange counter waives their service charge of BofA customers! All you have to do is wave your BofA debit card & poof, you save yourself $5. (If you're not a BofA customer, $5 still isn't a bad fee.) They match / beat all other rates, too. Their posted exchange rate would've cost me about $603 for 54,000 -- but Lee checked BofA's site & took a digit off of their exchange rate, bringing it down to $596. Not a huge difference, but any difference is great! As someone who travels to Japan a lot & therefore has to deal with currency exchange on a fairly regular basis, I have to say I'd highly recommend this place for all your money changing needs. They're open 7 days a week during all mall hours, too. read more

I've used this currency exchange several times prior to trips to London and Tokyo. The rates I've gotten have always been better than I could have gotten at Narita or Heathrow. It's conveniently located in the Westshore Mall food court, so a pit stop at Evos or PF Changs always makes the currency exchange go smoother. They also buy back currency but I've never tried that service as I always end up spending all my foreign money outside of the US. This is convenient for me and it saves a few bucks. I'm a fan. read more

The guy I worked with was Juan and he was a super nice guy. Dont rely on the mall directory for the location. The location has moved. It is near the Macy's. read more

Came across about fifty different bills from several countries so I decided to see what I can get out of them....well I would've left with a $1.68 crazy huh? What I didn't know before today was many countries change there money over the years so all the money I had was worth nothing except one but I just keep it. The reason I gave it four stars is because the young lady who helped me was like a damn currency professor she taught me a lot today. read more

Great service and communication. Located in kiosk in the mall. They had euro's on hand.

With this Corvid-19 situation a lot of people dont have jobs or money right now, I am one of those people with less hours and no money, bills are stacking and I dont know what to do. This so helpful guy, (Lee) works at florida currency exchange in tampa and even though they are closed he was so helpful and let me meet him anyway to exchange foreign currency to american. I can't even begin to write enough this guy,Lee helped me and seriously hard time of need. I was able to exchange money to pay some bills and survive. Thank you lee so much, I would recommend Florida currency exchange over any place else ever! read more

I've gotten foreign currency from this location before several times. They've always been very reliable, having the currency I ordered when I needed it. The rates are usually the best in the area and the fees are minimal. read more

It was so easy!! The beautiful, young lady that helped us explained everything, counted all monies in front of myself and husband, wished us happy journeys. In and out in 10 minutes, you get clobbered in Mexico and they want pesos and such a better deal. They do not like credit cards!! Thanks last Thursday night beauty! read more

The exchange was simple, but there was only 1 clerk working. The line was terribly slow.

It really is shocking that a very small number of places in Tampa will help you with a currency exchange. I came home with Korean won and had no clue what to do with it for a good couple of weeks. I finally made the drive over to the Westshore Plaza and the workers at Florida Currency Exchange quickly changed my Korean wons into dollar bills. The fees were very low as well (there are no fees in Korea though - should have exchanged before I left the country). They are open most of the day - giving you an opportunity to make the trek if you don't live on that side of town for an exchange. Thanks anyway though Florida Currency Exchange! read more

Thank goodness for Florida Currency Exchange! My daughter was spending a semester abroad and, the day before she left, she told me she needed foreign currency. My bank couldn't get the money in time, so I called Florida Currency Exchange. We got a rate that was even better than what the bank had quoted! We got our money right away, and they also gave us a "cheat sheet" which showed how much my daughter would be spending in US Dollars for each denomination of Euros. I was able to spend my daughter's last day in town with her, dining out and shopping! It was such a relief; Would DEFINITELY recommend!!! read more

Terrible experience. Have been going to this place in Westshore Mall for years but won't go again. We were traveling to Asia and wanted to have local currency. Since we have been exchanging currency for years with FCE, I asked one of my family members to do the exchange. We exchanged $1300 US dollars but only got $800 US dollars in Vietnamese dollars compared to the current market exchange rate. So they took a $500 commission on a $1300 exchange. What makes me mad is that if they really cared about their customers they would have told my family member at the time that their exchange rate relative to the market rate for the Vietnamese currency was awful. We would have still exchanged some dollars but certainly not as much. I realize that every business needs to make a margin. Nearly 40% on one transaction is outrageous and absolutely taking advantage of your customer. Advice to travelers - take just enough currency to get you by until you can get to an ATM in your destination. Can avoid FCE taking advantage of you. read more

I have had a friend go here to purchase currency and upon speaking to their corporate office they told her that purchase dinar and that it was a good investment. This is a common scam this company tells its customers to unload dinar onto unsuspecting buyers. I would be very weary of the currency you purchase through this company. The owner is not an honest man and within the business world has a very bad reputation. Sometimes certain people just do not have what it takes to be a successful small business owner, and this is the perfect example of that. So my advice is to just be careful when buying here. They are not having the customers best interest at heart. I would recommend having them match your banks rate and contact the bank to make sure that all the information they are providing you is correct. I repeat Dinar is never a good investment, I have been in the currency business for over 30 years which is why I know this company has poor practices when it comes to customer service. read more

I got Iraqi Dinars on the spot all I did was tell them what Fifth Third's price was and they had them there and sold them cheaper. I left with Dinar in five minutes. Fifth Third was out and they told me to go to Westshore Mall the bank teller gave me this phone # and owner answered 813-786-5119. read more
