Change/foreign exchange


Get your foreign currency at SBB Change.


Foreign exchange


Changing money.

At SBB Change you can change money into over 50 foreign currencies. Several offices have extended opening hours, and at bigger stations they are open at weekends. If the currency you need is not in stock, we get it for you within a reasonable period. You can also obtain traveller's cheques, or the equally safe Travel Cash Card. Naturally we can also change foreign currency back into Swiss francs for you.

Travel Cash


Travel Cash Card.

As secure as traveller's cheques, but far more convenient: the Travel Cash Card in credit card format. You load any sum onto the Travel Cash Card, in Swiss francs, euros or US dollars. You can then draw cash in local currencies at Maestro ATMs in over 120 countries around the clock. You can also pay for purchases with your Travel Cash Card at around ten million Maestro acceptance points. In the event of loss or theft, the card – together with its credit balance at the time – is immediately replaced. Throughout the world, free of charge.

You can get your Travel Cash Card at these sales outlets.PDF (Adobe Reader), 0.11 MB, new Window

   

Travellers Cheques


Traveller's cheques.

Your money is insured worldwide when you use the tried and trusted travellers' cheques from American Express, as these can usually be replaced within 24 hours if lost or stolen, wherever you are in the world. You can exchange travellers' cheques for local currency in most banks and bureaux de change in most countries worldwide. Many hotels, shops and restaurants also accept them just like cash as payment for products or services.

Travellers' cheques have no expiry date. If you do not use them on one journey, you can simply keep them to top up your funds for your next. SBB Change can issue travellers' cheques in US dollars, euros, Swiss francs and also in Australian and Canadian dollars at some offices. Of course, we can also change your travellers' cheques back into Swiss francs.
