Regardless of whether you're travelling to Rome, London or Tokyo, you'll always need local currency. Incidental expenses like cab fare, a cup of coffee, the newspaper or a quick meal can arise within minutes of your arrival. Such items generally can be purchased only with cash. Be sure to stop by an American Express Foreign Exchange Services location for all your currency needs or you can order foreign currency, as well as Travellers Cheques online.

American Express has more than 1,700 locations in 130+ countries worldwide. A listing of all American Express Foreign Exchange Services locations can help you locate offices worldwide before departure, in case you need additional funds while travelling.
