Money Transfers

Whether you’re planning a new life in Valencia or just here for your holidays, you may want to transfer or exchange money at some point.

As a major city, Valencia has various options for exchanging currencies. Banks, money exchange shops and selected travel agencies offer currency exchange as a service.

When exchanging money in person, you’ll need to bring your passport or other form of ID, such as your TIE card. You can usually pay by card to receive cash in euros. Banks typically close at 2pm, and money exchange shops usually close at the same time, although they may reopen around 5.
