A Plus Foreign Currency Exchange

Been using them for years since 2011! Very helpful and always nice to call ahead of time. Great place to do business with them! Cash only!!!

I like this place for the location and the fact that they don’t charge a fee. I’ve used it several times now.

Fast and easy transaction!

The best in LA. Always great rates and fast service.
I’ve been a client for years and really appreciate the place.

Needed Euros and called the bank and other foreign exchanges. Banks charge fees plus a higher exchange rate. Other Currency exchangers charge a fee and modesty higher rate, plus did not have Euros in stock.
A Plus Foreign Currency Exchange had Euros in Stock, charges no commission or fees and exchange rate was lower than others. Win Win.
Service was courteous and swift. Win
Plus they also have free 90 minute parking in the City Parking Structure above them. Win
So a Win Win Win Win,
As Arnold would say, I’ll be back”

Awesome, efficient. Call ahead to save time. I used them for my honeymoon. They were very helpful. Euro to dollar

If I could give zero stars, I would
I normally don’t write reviews, but my recent experience here has compelled me to alert everyone to an egregious error that NEVER should have happened. I suppose many will think that one star is harsh, and I may change this if they address the situation to my satisfaction.
My wife is traveling in England as I write this and discovered that several of the 50-​pound notes she received from this establishment are out of circulation and, therefore, worthless. It seems that these notes were taken out of circulation. You can’t use them at all. They are demonetized. She found out while trying to make a purchase. It was too late to visit a bank and exchange the notes.
I don’t understand how a place that deals with foreign currency can not know a simple thing like this? How many other people have been put in this situation?
I looked it up online and it seems that British pound notes are quite often removed from circulation and, unlike new designs in the United States, they become demonetized.

I went to this place to exchange Japanese yen to dollars and they gave me a better rate than the bank and without any hassle of having to have an account with the bank, etc etc. the guy was really friendly too. And if you park at the public parking next to this place you get 90 minutes free parking and taking the elevator on the left side of the building will get you right to this place. Highly recommend !

Went to this spot just a few hours ago.
I read on Unilocal that some spot downtown was much better and was about to make the crazy trek from Venice to that side of LA when I ran out of time. A Plus had a slightly lower exchange and longer hours (open until 530 instead of 4.) The gentleman was really helpful and pleasant to chat with. This will be my go to spot the next time I travel abroad.

decent rate + no commission + friendly guy = highly recommended

Glad I called this place after the competition quoted fees and a worse rate. On exchanging Euro to Dollar no fee.

I went there to exchange USD for GBP. I’m not very detailed, so I didn’t check if their rates were better than other places. My friend told me they were and recommended this place, so I just took his words for it, so I can’t comment on their rates.
Their service was great. The guy at the window was very friendly and surely made me feel comfortable. I was very satisfied with it. I’ll definitely be back! :)

They do charge a 2.5% «commission» or «fee» or whatever you want to call it on top of the «official» exchange rate according to my calculations when buying € 800 (Euros). This rate may or may not be more for smaller /​bigger amounts. This is how they make money. Get over it. Pretty decent compared to a lot of US banks like Wells Frakko or Scam of America :-) Better than a fellow exchange place like Wilshire Coin just a few blocks up in Santa Monica.

Exchanged US dollars for Euros and even though they have no commission they adjust the rate slightly from what I found on OANDA but it is still better than other exchange offices. Located very conveniently near the parking garage on 4^th near Broadway and I have a few minutes wait. I asked for smaller bills and the cashier was very nice and went into «the back» to locate them for me. Very accommodating. I recommend this place over the Foreign Currency Express downtown on Figueroa.

I googled the rate of JPY to USD, and the offer I was given over the phone was a scant twelve dollars less than the going rate, which was fine for how close it is to my house (and for how little I enjoy searching for deals).

While they don’t charge a commission up front to exchange money, they do manipulate the exchange rate a bit in order to turn a profit. I paid $ 1202 for GBP700, which was about the best I could have gotten at any of the places I checked (both here and in London), and comparable to what my credit card was giving. My ATM card gave me the best rate, though, about 4% better than this place.

I came over here after seeing this place about two years ago heading to a dinner over at Border Grill across the street and my friend noticed the big 0% commissions neon sign. Considering most currency exchange places usually charge some kind of commission and that I ended up paying through the nose at a TD Canada Trust ATM last year, I decided to come here to A+ to get my Canadian loonies on the way to my annual sojourn to Toronto.
Result? A lot slower than I would’ve liked. Took me 15 minutes to get my money in a hot (no AC) place. And there was a commission because they don’t count Canada in the mix. There was only one guy there. I think he was some Indian or some similar foreigner who was a bit of a hot head. Then again, with no AC that might make sense. I still got my money and probably no better than doing it at the airport. I think the fee was four bucks since I was exchanging $ 100US. Actually got a little change back in US dollars and cents to even things up. Nice plus that it was right next to a free (in the daytime anyway) city parking lot. So at least my car stayed cool in the heat and I didn’t have to pay for it. Just for my supposedly 0% commission.
