Frequently Asked Questions
It is convenient if you shop at Sainsbury's: you can order online and collect from a Travel Money Bureau in a Sainsbury's store, or have cash delivered, and Nectar members can get a better exchange rate. Its rates are not always the best available, though, and Sainsbury's says rates differ between in-store, online and phone orders, so compare the rate for your currency and amount before you order.
Sainsbury's own pages present the service as Sainsbury's Bank Travel Money, run through bureaux in Sainsbury's stores, with click and collect and Royal Mail home delivery. They do not mention a third-party order platform. Sainsbury's Bank plc's in-store terms also say that its Travel Money service does not fall within the scope of financial regulation, so read the terms before you order.
Yes. Cash is sent by Royal Mail Special Delivery to the billing address of the card you used, and a signature and a valid phone number are required. Next-day delivery applies to euros, US dollars and travel money card orders confirmed before 2pm, Monday to Friday. Orders confirmed after 2pm arrive by 1pm on the working day you choose, and you can pick a date up to seven days ahead. Highlands and Islands addresses do not get guaranteed next-day delivery. Saturday delivery is not guaranteed, and for Monday deliveries Royal Mail may try on the Saturday. Delivery is free for cash orders of £400 or more, and costs £4.99 for orders from £100 to £399.99.
For home delivery the minimum is £100 and the maximum is £2,500 per order. There is no minimum for collection from a Sainsbury's Bank Travel Money Bureau. Sainsbury's pages also state a daily limit per person, but they do not agree on the figure (£2,500 on one page, £4,500 on another), so check the limit when you order.
Yes. Order online and collect from a Travel Money Bureau in a Sainsbury's store. Same-day collection in about four hours is available only for euros, US dollars and travel money card orders. Sainsbury's asks you to collect within 72 hours, otherwise the order may be cancelled. Bureau opening hours vary by store, and you can check them by entering your postcode at checkout.
You can buy at a bureau without ordering first, and there is no minimum order there. Sainsbury's terms say online rates can only be used in store if you pre-order through the website, and in-store rates are set separately from online rates. Stock of some currencies can be limited, so ordering ahead shows you the rate and availability first.
Sainsbury's says it does not charge administration fees on currency orders and does not charge extra for paying by card, and its in-store terms describe Travel Money as sold commission-free. As with most providers, the margin is built into the exchange rate, so compare the rate as well as the fees. Delivery charges apply to home delivery orders under £400, and your card issuer may add its own fee.
Yes, in person at a Sainsbury's Bank Travel Money Bureau. You do not need to have bought the currency there. You get the rate on the day you return it, not the rate you bought at, and Nectar members who give their card number get a better rate on single buyback transactions. Buyback by post is not offered, and you are paid in sterling cash. Sainsbury's states a maximum of £25,000 per buyback and does not mention a buyback fee, so ask at the bureau.
No. Sainsbury's says it can buy back notes but not coins. Each bureau has a coin collection box, and the proceeds go to the Royal British Legion, so you can donate leftover coins there.
Yes. Sainsbury's accepts cards online, by phone and in store, including Apple Pay and Google Pay, as long as the card is Maestro, Mastercard or Visa. It does not add a charge for paying by card. However, your card provider may treat the purchase as a cash advance and charge a fee and interest, which appear on your card statement rather than on the travel money order. Sainsbury's says its own Bank Credit Card has no cash advance fee, and interest is not charged if you clear the full balance in the current billing cycle. A debit card is usually cheaper than a credit card.
The Sainsbury's pages we checked do not say what happens after a missed delivery. A signature is required, so make sure someone can receive the parcel. If it does not arrive, contact Sainsbury's Customer Support on 0345 355 2463 or use the Travel Money option on its Get in touch page.
For collection orders, Sainsbury's in-store terms say you can cancel any time before collection by calling customer services. You are refunded the full sterling amount less a £10 cancellation fee. The pages we checked do not set out the rules for cancelling or changing a home delivery order, so contact Customer Support before the order is dispatched.
For a later collection, Sainsbury's terms say you get the rate in force when you place the order, not on collection day. Rates vary during the day and differ between in-store, online and phone orders, so check the final rate before you pay. The pages we checked do not describe a refund guarantee if your trip is cancelled.
For euros and US dollars, often yes, because four-hour click and collect is available for those currencies and travel money card orders. Home delivery is next working day for the same currencies if confirmed before 2pm, Monday to Friday. Other currencies may take longer, so check availability for your currency and bureau before you set out.
