Buying Dollars for a Trip to New York

A trip to New York packs a lot into a few days, and having dollars ready keeps things moving. Buying US dollars before you fly from a commission-free provider such as Travel FX means you can buy US dollars at a clear rate rather than queuing at a busy airport desk on arrival.

Cash for the city

Tips, delis, cabs, coffee carts and smaller shops are easier with cash, even in a card-friendly city. Small notes are especially handy for tipping.

Skip the arrival exchange

Exchanging at JFK or Newark is convenient but rarely the best value. Ordering at home in advance gives you more dollars to spend on the city.

Ready before you land

Travel FX has more than 18 years of trading, over 60 currencies and a 5-star Trustpilot rating from around 32,800 reviews, with online ordering and delivery or collection.

Sort your dollars before you fly and hit the ground running in the city that never sleeps.
