As an example, suppose you are from Manila Philippines and you travel to Cape Town or Cape City South Africa. There, you need to get 1000 Rands ( R) at a Cape Town or Cape City bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 3.223 * 1000 = 3,222.528 Philippine Pesos (₱). But, in practice, you will pay more (or perhaps much more) to get the same amount of your foreign currency due to the margin for the money conversion services costs like: commissions, credit card surcharges, ATM fees and other expenses. If, for example, you are using a credit card, this margin will typically be around 2 to 3 percent. We recommend that you choose the best place to make your money exchange because there can be a large difference between forex rates you will get.
In the example above for a 1000 Rands amount, the result of the money conversion is 3,286.978 PHP for a 2% margin or 3,319.204 PHP for a 3% margin.
Some Internet based foreign currency exchange agencies add 10 percent or even more. So, if you make the same calculations above, there will be a difference of about 322.253 PHP depending on which forex bank or agency you choose to exchange your money.
