Budapest at Night 🔥 (Money Exchange)
Neben den ATMs, wo man teils zu sehr schlechten Konditionen, Bargeld abheben kann, gibt es in Budapest auch die traditionellen Geld-Wechselstuben, wo man Eurobanknoten in Forint wechseln kann.
Auch hier muss man aufpassen nicht abgezockt zu werden, aber diese Stube (Blaha Change) zum Beispiel bietet paradoxerweise bessere Konditionen als die meisten Bankomaten im Zentrum 😂
Gebühr ist 1% und der Kurs wäre 407 HUF / EUR (Devisenkurs war 416-417).
Witzig, dass Wechselstuben teilweise bessere Konditionen haben als ATMs. Was sagt ihr dazu?
Blaha Change (Money Change Office) in Budapest, Hungary

In addition to the ATMs, where you can withdraw cash, often at very poor conditions, there are also traditional money exchange offices in Budapest where you can change euro banknotes into forints.
Here, too, you have to be very careful not to get ripped off, but this office (Blaha Change), for example, paradoxically offers better conditions than most ATMs in the city center 😂
The fee (commission) is 1% and the rate would be 407 HUF / EUR (exchange rate was 416-417).
It's somewhat ridiculous that exchange offices sometimes have better conditions than ATMs. What do you think? Why is that the case?
Da wirst du bei den Exchanges große Unterschiede auch haben.
Das ist aber denke überall so.
In Serbiennund im Thailand habe ich Unterschiede von 3% gesehen. Teils nur wenige 100m oder tatsächlich auch nur wenige m von einander entfernt.
Ich hab fast gelesen Frauen Exchange in Budapest :-)
Haha, Freudscher 😄
Money exchanges are unique, there is no need for so many rules here. The scary thing is cheating.
Use Revolut, it generally offers the best exchange rates, although they are a tad worse on weekends and bank holidays.
Haha, today saw a Revolut ad 😂
I am an honest promoter, not being paid for that :)) But I travel a lot, usually like 10 countries a year, and none of them has the same currency as we do - CZK. So it saves me few dozens Euro a year :)
It is rare but sometimes this can happen. It happens often with metals.
I much prefe going to a secure place like this vs just an ATM. and its usually cheaper.. depends i guess. 😎😉👊

That is sad... But you go where it's cheapest in the end I suppose. Enough people must not care about that percentage lost otherwise they would go to the exchange!
I believe the government should look into the atm condition that is into poor condition
This is safer than ATM especially during night time. But these offices should have safety measures too as its prone to hold up.
I think it's because those but I guess they are fine with the small margins. If not, then I guess they might just be a bit behind on the exchange rates or they don't update as much.
I think the cost in ATM is more higher because of the security and assurance it provides
The state of ATM machines are not really good there
Here, we rarely use ATMs anymore because we can always get cash on the streets from POS vendors
This is one thing the government has to look into
It’s a poor case
Auf den ersten Blick erscheint es seltsam, je mehr ich drüber nachdenke, desto mehr macht es Sinn. Die ATM stehen 24/7 zur Verfügung. Einzige Kosten ein bisschen Strom. Die haben quasi Geduld, bis irgendwer doch die Dinger benutzt und dann schlagen der schlechte Kurs und die Gebühren zu.
Bei der Wechselstube entstehen mehr Betriebskosten, die brauchen mehr Verkehr, also machen sie sich attraktiver.
Nur so random Spontanerklärversuche.
Guter Punkt, denke vlt ersparen sich die Wechselstuben auch die hohen Bankgebühren, wenn sie Cash direkt traden, quasi dezentral wie p2p crypto exchanges :)
The ATM conditions should have been regularly check
I rarely used money exchanges offices in my area
