Travellers heading to a foreign country during the upcoming festive season can now compare various foreign exchange rates from different providers and order their traveller`s cheques and foreign cash online, thanks to Ratescott.
Ratescott (http://www.ratescott.co.za) allows users to compare the rates from four different agencies, including American Express, Master Currency, Rennies and Tower Bureau de Change. This option makes it possible for users to compare the rates that the different providers are offering at any time and purchase their currency at the most competitive price.
"We all know the hassle of trying to find the best dollar or pound rate for your rand," comments Ratescott spokesperson, Siegfried Grimbeek. "Ratescott gives users the option to choose between four different exchange rates, and ordering currency at their leisure, having it delivered to their business address or for collection at their closest outlet."
Users don`t need to subscribe to the service and can order their traveller`s cheques and foreign cash by accessing www.ratescott.co.za and comparing the rates of the currency they would like to purchase. The customer has the option to collect the currency at the provider or have them delivered to a business address.
Adds Grimbeek: "We all know the feeling of chasing around from one agency to another for the best rate on the currency needed for overseas travels. This new offering allows travellers to visit one Web site and compare the offerings from competing suppliers, giving travellers a platform to get the best deal and to order it directly from the supplier."
