Are you worried about changes to exchange rates costing you money?

If you're concerned changing exchange rates could reduce the value of your money you can apply for a Foreign Currency Account (FCA). An FCA is a 'holding facility' that effectively retains your money in a currency of your choice, including British Pounds, Euro, USD, NZD, HKD and Japanese Yen.

A FCA allows you to transact in your currency of choice without the cost of currency conversions. It also allows you to convert your money to Australian dollars when the exchange rate is more favourable for your selected currency.
