Buying Rate
The institution buys foreign currency from you. For example, you hand over US dollars and receive Georgian lari.
Before buying or selling foreign currency, check the current exchange rate and calculate how much you will receive. Visit your nearest Creditservice+ branch to exchange your money.
The Creditservice+ website has a currency converter for calculating how much you will receive before visiting a branch. Enter the amount and select the currency you would like to receive. The result is calculated using the current exchange rate.
Creditservice+ has operated in Georgia’s financial market since 1999, offering financial products for individuals and small and medium-sized businesses.
At Creditservice+ branches, you can exchange cash in the following foreign currencies.
Creditservice+ also offers cashless currency exchange. Transfer funds in one currency and receive the converted amount in your chosen currency in your account. You can also deposit cash for conversion and credit it to your account, or transfer funds and collect the converted amount in cash. Cashless exchange requires an agreement and a branch visit.
Money transfers at Creditservice+ can be sent and paid out in Georgian lari (GEL), US dollars (USD) and euros (EUR). If a transfer is made in another available currency, the recipient will need to convert it into lari, dollars or euros before collecting the funds.
Before visiting, check the availability of your chosen currency and the terms of exchange.
The National Bank of Georgia’s official exchange rate serves as a reference. Financial institutions set their own commercial buying and selling rates, so check the rate offered by the provider you intend to use.
Official rates are updated on business days. Commercial rates may also change throughout the day. Compare offers immediately before exchanging money, especially during periods of currency volatility.
Two rates apply to currency exchange: the buying rate and the selling rate. These terms describe the transaction from the financial institution’s perspective. Compare the rate that applies to your transaction.
