Banks & Exchange Services in Melbourne

Money changers are not as common in Melbourne as in other major international cities—try along Collins, Elizabeth, or Swanston streets. ATMs are plentiful throughout Victoria and accept CIRRUS, Maestro, PLUS, and credit cards. Other places to get and change money include large hotels, American Express, and Travelex. If heading into regional Victoria, it's wise to cash up beforehand rather than relying on regional banking outlets, which may or may not cater to international travelers.
