I've been using the Burbank LA Currency office for years and they have never disappointed me. They have the best competitive rates compared to any other foreign currency exchanges. And best of all, I'm never standing in line to be helped that long. I highly recommend them. Thanks a bunch. You guys rock. read more

Went here to get Euros before my trip. They don't charge a designated fee for an exchange, but the exchange rate is slightly higher than the current market. That is their fee. However, after having made the exchange, I found it to match currency exchanges in Spain, France, and Italy. Their rate was A LOT better than the currency exchange at LAX. I only exchanged to receive €500 and it lasted me almost my entire 21 day trip. I used my credit card with no foreign transaction fee everywhere I could. When I had to withdraw, I used my Capital One 360 Debit at a Euronet ATM. When I checked the conversion rate in the Capital One App, It was very close to current market rate even with the Euronet ATM fee. Had I known this, I would have just gotten €200 and withdrew whenever I needed. This is dependent on your bank, so be sure to call and ask about their charges when withdrawing from an ATM in foreign countries. read more

Exchanged a few hundred American dollars for Euros before a recent trip, and then the reverse upon returning to California. The gentleman at L.A. Currency Exchange handled both transactions quickly, efficiently, and professionally. Definitely recommend. read more

Very great costumer service. Didn't kept me in line for long. Everything was fast and professional. Artur is a very good worker.

Perfect experience - the gentleman I interacted with was courteous, helpful, and speedy. He also took pains to explain each step of the transaction to ensure that each cent was accounted for. This will be my go-to currency exchange from now on. read more

I have used this currency exchange several times and have always had a great experience. Their rates are very fair and I almost never have to wait. The staff is courteous and professional every time. While it does not feel like a traditional bank, it has a more boutique feel, which I really like. Reliable, efficient, and easy to work with. read more

This is now my go-to currency exchange. Polite, prompt, reliable, fair. Couldn't ask for more! read more

(Exchanged 08/25/23 FR @ 3:00pm): The real currency that mattered here was the friendly customer service and their guarantee of "the best foreign currency exchange in Los Angeles"! LA Currency's Burbank location has been open for barely a year as of this review. I've been a fan of theirs for years and have visited their Hollywood and Van Nuys locations in the past with positive experiences. Over the years, I've found they had the best rates in Los Angeles and surrounding areas albeit by mere micro percentage points. I was faced with barely a week before I left on a two-week European vacation and still didn't have any European Euros or Great Britain Pound Sterling for those situations where credit cards weren't accepted. Frankly, my schedule has been nonstop busy for months, but I finally made the time to exchange my Yankee money. With over 40 reviews, a 5-Star rating, and closer to where I'm usually around, it seemed like a no-brainer. Here was how the deal went down!: PURCHASE European Union Euro €100.00 ($111.18): Based on an exchange rate of 1.111826, this may've been the cheapest I've ever gotten Euros at! In hindsight, I probably should've gotten more for future trips. Great Britain Pound Sterling £150.00 ($193.43): Based on an exchange rate of 1.289554, this currency has historically held a better value over the U.S. Dollar, and in this case it was over 25% more which didn't feel good but it was a necessity because of the number of countries I'll be visiting that used this currency - cheerio! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=z96Sni7VmoFssJtLBEAyDg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE YELP CHECK-IN OFFER: $3.00 off $300.00 or more for currency transactions. It wasn't much, but at least it was something! I simply walked in, approached the counter and the lovely young woman behind it, placed my order, gave my details (my information was already in their system!), provided them legal proof of my existence (my passport in this case), and in a couple minutes, our financial dealing was complete. A simple, short, and sweet transaction - thank you! PARKING (FREE) I parked in the nearby public parking structure off of Orange Grove Ave. and easily walked through a pedestrian alley pathway. Otherwise, there were spots along the main drag of San Fernando Rd. and all other surrounding streets; however, you had to be lucky to ever get one of those spots! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern open spacious space with only a lone table and two chairs for a random travel agency, an electronic sign that posted the current currency exchange rates for the day https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ar2tyxWFMRLsgZQvpEJaow&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, and several order counters heavily protected in thick Plexiglass directly in front of you. There were no other decorations or displays of any kind https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5asCvComCHE2CYqzCJFqNg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the large front glass windows and door, while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. Honestly, I didn't need to be impressed; just show me the money! There were no TVs (off) while low-volumed music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=JgzdkcPt66srviVJHiTP8w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Burbank's LA Currency location was so much better for my needs, and this company continued to be my go-to place for my travel moolah needs https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=wJsSsbdjPO34azg6wGXr7w&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. The service was outstanding, the rates were the best, they were open on the weekend (closed Sundays), no appointments needed, and no transaction fees. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $305.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, like most currency exchange places, they didn't accept my credit card (or any) of choice (which was fine in this case because it would've been a cash advance transaction, anyway)... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

I've been going here for years. Never had an issue. Until now. They claim they price match according to their website- Our motto is to provide the best rates in Los Angeles for our customers so LA CURRENCY does promise to match rates. If Clients can provide us proof of a better rate from a different institution we will try our best to match that rate. Some exceptions may apply. However, when I reached out to ask he said that his rate is the rate he is providing meaning he can't price match. Don't advertise if you can't backup what you are saying clearly written on your website! read more

Glad this place is around! I gave up for a while trying to find a bank to exchange money before a foreign trip. The last bank I exchanged money at canceled the service. I like to have foreign currency in my wallet before I land in another country. It is better than exchanging money at the airport. I didn't find places like this one for a while. Glad I discovered this store on San Fernando rd in downtown Burbank. Great location, clean, fast service. Hope they will stick around. Useful! read more

this is honestly one of the best currency exchange places in LA! don't change your leftover money from when you get back from overseas (the airports will charge a super high fee!) just go here. For any digital withdrawals or deposits there are fees but to exchange cash it's free which I LOVE! I will continue to go here when I need to exchange cash. And as a bonus, downtown Burbank has free parking so it's super convenient to get in and out of. read more

Service was easy and professional. And so close to home. I used to have to go further from home to get my money exchanged.

This company is super convenient and offers good exchange rates. I've exchanged cash with them on multiple occasions for various trips and appreciate their helpfulness! read more

Quick, easy and efficient with great rates. Avoid airport exchanges any chance you get.

Quick service and had lots of option for foreign money Would definitely recommend when traveling

Ending up coming here after checking rates with BoA, Chase, and WF. They had the best rate I could find in the LA area. Compared to banks, their conversation rate was ~3% more. I stopped by in the afternoon and was in and out in about 10 minutes. Parking in the area is a bit challenging since it's on the main street, but I was able to get parking about 3 minute walk away. Overall great experiences and would come here again if I needed to exchange currency. read more

A pleasant surprise on San Fernando Blvd near Burbank Town Center. Right on the corner near the trendy restaurants and shops....came here to pick up some Euros, quick and efficient service! They know exactly what to do here....give you the rate up front, hand out crisp new bills, put them in an envelope, and give you a receipt. Woo hoo this place rocks! read more

Quick and easy, in and out! Right on Burbank's little promenade by the mall so parking is easy. There's no charge if you bring in cash to exchange and the woman working there was through to make sure I understood the conversions with a printout. There was no line when I walked in on a Saturday afternoon, but one built up behind me. read more

It was quick and easy to exchange. However, they do have their own conversion rate. They don't charge fees but you won't get the full national exchange rate to USD. read more

Excellent!! First time using this place and couldn't be happier. The nice lady that helped me was very informative and helpful. Quick and efficient process with great rates. Use cash to avoid any fees. I will definitely come back here again in the future. read more

The lady at the front desk is super nice and efficient. The rates are great as well. Fast, and easy exchange. I recommend.

Easy! Nice people! And better rates than my bank! So excited for my trip to Europe! I will definitely be coming back here for all my currency needs. read more

The process is simple. You call ahead of time to make sure they have the currency available, take your cash there, and they exchange the money for you. They ask for identification. read more

If you need to exchange money for any reason, look no further! I can here before I recent trip to Mexico and needed to exchange some cash and I'm so happy I came here first. I believe they are fairly new in the area so they weren't busy at all. The only downside is parking is a bit tricky to find due to it being in downtown Burbank. Parking aside I will absolutely be back whenever I need to exchange cash. They also have a deal where you can check in and get $3! read more

Very easy process to change my USD to MXN! The rate I got back was about 5% under the current market value, which seems to be their hidden fee for exchanging money. That's a lot cheaper than a whole lot of places, including large banks. For example, if you want to see what you'll get back (at least from USD to MXN), just google your exchange rate and reduce the currency you're trading for by 5%. $100 means you get equivalent to $95 worth of pesos. very happy with the service and the woman over the counter, Meri! read more

Friendly service, fast and easy exchange too. Happy I found this place before a last minute travel arrangement! read more

Very good experience exchanging dollars for Japanese yen. Called a couple of days before going in to let them know how much I needed to exchange. They had everything ready for me when I went in. The rep (Mary) was very pleasant to work with. Will definitely go back when I need to exchange money again. read more

Still not the best but way better exchange rate than Chase Bank. Just didn't want to drive far out.

A few days ago, I visited this office and exchanged euros to dollars. I was impressed by the excellent customer service.

Great service and helpful staff. Good rates too. They were kind enough to let me know about a discount to get the most out of my money.

So glad they opened in Burbank! I used to go to van Nuys all the time! They have so many options for currency and they are always so nice and professional! Love the rates and you are in and out within a few minutes! Highly recommend! read more

I'm glad they opened another location here. I used to go to the one in Hollywood. Parking is much easier, and I can stop by any time I'm in the area. Good rates and staff are friendly and helpful. I recommend calling ahead to check if they have the currency you need ahead of time. They were out of Japanese yen when I stopped by before. read more
