changeXchange

Android app connecting travellers willing to trade local currencies.

Have you ever arrived at an airport stressed, tired, and unable to get local currency? No cash exchange, no ATM?

Foreign coins gathering dust on your shelves? Pockets full of now useless cash on the way back from your trip to Bali?

Use your wasted time in airports: trade local money against foreign currencies.

Gone are the days of arriving in a country penniless, feeling scammed, or having cumbersome foreign change at home; ChangeXChange is here for you. Meet up with travellers on the opposite leg of their journey to either pick up the foreign currencies they came back with, or trade them yours. With easy to use filters, and automatic airport detection, look for, or create an offer from one currency to another, and find a fellow globetrotter with matching needs.

We take privacy and safety very seriously: choose your means of communication and never share any information you’re not comfortable with. With user ratings, you can also walk into trades with the confidence that the user has good intentions.

 Simple Trade, Simple Travel
