Black Friday is coming to Eurochange

Next Friday we will have special offers for Black Friday

Black Friday promotions at Eurochange

Black Friday is near and we are preparing a very special offer so you can travel buying your currency at the best price.

Pay attention since our promotions will last only one day.

Where does "Black Friday" come from?

The truth is that there is no proven origin of this expression. Black Friday coincides with the day following Thanksgiving in the United States (which is the last Thursday of November). On this day the shops and department stores began to offer discounts and striking offers to start the Christmas shopping season.

There are those who say that the origin is in the chaos of traffic and people who had in the big cities this day of citizens looking for big discounts. Another possibility says that it is because the shops with losses throughout the year, as of this day they stopped having red numbers and happened to have black numbers.

Whatever the origin, this beginning of the season has been slowly extended to several countries so that Black Friday is celebrated in countries around the world.

Don’t miss out on Eurochange’s Black Friday!

Sending money with Western Union, much easier thanks to WU APP

Make your money transfers quicker and easier with the new APP

As we already told you a few weeks ago, we have incorporated the service of money transfer with Western Union in 10 of our exchange offices: Benidorm (5 offices), Punta Marina, Los Alcazares, Mojacar, Torremolinos and Benalmadena.

Thanks to this service you can send money to another country or receive it in Spain in a convenient and simple way. But at Western Union they have decided to make it even easier thanks to the launch of their new APP.

Western Union APP

Click over the image for more information
 

How does the new Western Union APP work?

The first thing you'll need to do is download the app on Google Play or at the Apple Store.

Once you have the APP on your phone, you will have to register. If you are already a registered client because you have made a transaction in any of the Western Union points, the system will recognize your user and you won’t have to register again. If you were not a customer, you will have to fill in your personal information and upload a photo of your ID card or Passport.

Once you register you can start sending money to the country you want and with the possibility to choose between several available currencies depending on the country of destination.

To confirm the operation made on the APP you will have to go to the nearest Western Union point with the cash and with your identity document. There we will check that your details are correct and we will confirm the transfer so that the other person can pick it up in a few minutes.

Remember that you have 24 hours since you do the operation in the APP until you come to make it effective at the Western Union point. If you spend more time, the operation will be removed from the system and you will have to repeat it.

With this system you will pay a fixed commission of 2.90 € to any destination and with a maximum amount of 3,000 Euros (except for transfers to Colombia where the maximum amount is 750 Euros).

 

We look forward to making your money transfers at our Western Union points!

Eurochange: Interview about Brexit

Last week we received the journalists from Alicante Plaza for an interview

Last week we received in our offices the journalists of the digital newspaper Alicante Plaza for an interview about the effects of Brexit and how it has affected British tourists and residents in the area.

On June 23, 2016 the referendum about the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union was a positive result and last June 8th general elections took place in the country whose result was that the Prime Minister, Theresa May, didn’t obtain the absolute majority.

In this environment of uncertainty we find, on the one hand, all the national companies and businesses that work mainly with a British public (tourist or resident) and on the other hand the tourists and residents themselves who see that their purchasing power has diminished by the descent of the rate of the Pound and fear for the conditions that will be established so that they can continue living in Spain after their country leaves the EU.

Don’t miss the complete article (in Spanish) on the Alicante Plaza website: Eurochange, the pound exchange offices that continue to grow despite Brexit.

Exchange your currencies near the Airport with the best rates

As we have told you a few times in our blog, changing your currencies in the offices of the Airports is not a good option as their prices are very expensive.
