Where can I exchange euros to Australian dollars in Dublin?

If you’re planning your trip to Australia you’ll need to know how to exchange euros to Australian dollars to spend while you’re there. Here are the most common options:

Money exchange offices

• Get an in-person exchange by calling into a physical money exchange store - check currency availability in advance, as AUD is not always held in stock
• Order in advance with click and collect services from providers like ICE and No1 Currency Exchange, so you’ll know your AUD will be available when you need them
• Use No1 Currency Exchange for home delivery - buy your Australian dollars online and have them delivered to your doorstep by a courier

Banks
Some banks offer account holders ways to order AUD online and call in to collect them a few days later - Bank of Ireland¹ has this service for existing customers

Post office
Select An Post branches have AUD currency exchange - this isn’t offered in all post office branches, though, so do check the branch you choose has the service before you travel

Dublin Airport
ICE Currency Exchange has 5 different locations in Dublin Airport across T1 and T2, allowing you to get your Australian dollars as you travel

⚠️ AUD isn’t the most commonly requested currency, and so not all providers or branches will have it in stock. Before you travel, make sure the location you’re heading to has the amount of AUD you need handy, and check if there are any other requirements to know about - you're often asked to take along an ID document for example.

What is the best exchange rate for euro to Australian dollar?

Banks and money exchange services set their own euro to Australian dollar exchange rate, which can be confusing and make it tricky to find the best available service.

To find the best exchange rate for euro to Australian dollar it helps to know the live mid-market exchange rate. This is the mid-point of the buy and sell rates used on global wholesale markets, and often used as a benchmark for a fair deal.

Generally, finding a provider which uses the mid-market rate (like Wise does) - or as close as possible to it - will mean you end up with the lowest overall costs in the end and possibly a better deal.

You can also look at the exchange rate euro to Australian dollar history and trends, so you’ll know when the rate is favourable. We’ve got a bit more about that coming up in a moment.

What you should know before exchanging money

Your trip to Australia will be the adventure of a lifetime. Here are a few final thoughts to make sure your money goes as far as possible when you’re there:

• Bear in mind that not all money changers in Dublin stock AUD: call in advance to ask if the provider you pick has sufficient AUD in stock for your conversion
• Avoid the airport if you can: converting your currency at the airport seems convenient but can mean paying more than you expect - look at the rates on offer, to check you’re getting a good deal before you complete your exchange
• Be wary of providers which seem too good to be true: services which say they offer ‘no fees’ or ‘0% commission’ still need to make a profit, and so are likely to add their costs and revenue into the exchange rate you’re offered
• Track the mid-market rate: finding a provider which uses the mid-market rate can be a good way to lock in a decent deal. Use the Wise currency converter to get familiar with the EUR/AUD mid-market rate to help you compare
• Don’t carry too much cash: the last thing you need during your holiday is to be the victim of crime. Carrying lots of cash might make you vulnerable to thieves or pickpockets - take a low cost ATM card for withdrawals instead
• Consider a multi-currency account and card: an account from a provider like Wise can cut out the hassle and allow you to manage your travel spending with just your phone via app.
