ASDA currency exchange opening times vary considerably between Travel Money Bureau locations. There is no single nationwide timetable that applies to every ASDA bureau, even when the supermarkets themselves follow similar trading hours.
A review of current branch listings shows that many bureaux open between 9am and 10am on weekdays, while closing times can range from 6pm to 8pm. Saturday hours are frequently around 9am to 6pm, while Sunday hours are normally shorter.
The important point is that the Travel Money Bureau can close several hours before the supermarket. Customers should therefore check the bureau itself rather than relying on the main store opening times.
What Are Typical ASDA Currency Exchange Opening Times?
There is no standard set of ASDA Travel Money opening hours, although clear patterns appear across current branch listings.
Typical hours are:
| Day | Common Opening Pattern |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | Around 9am to 6pm, 7pm or 8pm |
| Saturday | Commonly around 9am to 6pm |
| Sunday | Usually around 10am or 10:30am to 4pm |
| Bank Holidays | Varies by location |
For example, Runcorn and Boldon currently operate until 8pm from Monday to Friday, while Birchwood and Trafford Park close at 6pm. Colindale opens later at 10am but stays open until 7pm from Monday to Saturday.
These are branch examples rather than guaranteed national opening hours.

Opening times can change, particularly around holidays, so customers should confirm their specific branch shortly before travelling.
Are ASDA Currency Exchange Hours the Same as Store Hours?
No. This is one of the most important points to check before visiting.
An ASDA supermarket may open early in the morning and remain open late into the evening while the Travel Money Bureau operates for a much shorter period.
A customer searching only for general ASDA opening times could therefore arrive at an open supermarket but find that its bureau de change has already closed.
It is also worth checking whether the branch offers travel money at all. Some ASDA supermarkets, petrol stations and smaller formats do not have a Travel Money Bureau. Current store listings clearly identify locations where the service is unavailable.
How Can You Check ASDA Currency Exchange Opening Times Near You?
The safest approach is to search for the individual Travel Money Bureau rather than the supermarket.
Customers should check the ASDA store locator using their town, city or postcode, confirm that Travel Money Bureau appears among the available services, then open the bureau listing to see the hours for the required day.
This is particularly important for anyone visiting late in the day, on Sunday or during a bank holiday. ASDA currently says travel money is available through more than 200 participating stores, but not every ASDA location provides the service.
Is ASDA Currency Exchange Open on Sundays?
Many ASDA Travel Money bureaux open on Sundays, although the hours are shorter than during the week.
Current examples include:
- Runcorn: 10:30am–4pm
- Boldon: 10:30am–4pm
- Blyth: 10am–4pm
- Burgh Heath: 11am–4pm
- Birchwood: 10:30am–4:30pm
- Colindale: 11am–5pm
The examples demonstrate why customers should not assume every bureau opens at 10:30am or closes at 4pm.
Is ASDA Currency Exchange Open on Bank Holidays?
ASDA does not publish one nationwide set of bank-holiday opening times for all Travel Money Bureaux.
The remaining major bank holidays in England and Wales for 2026 include Christmas Day on Friday 25 December and the Boxing Day substitute holiday on Monday 28 December. New Year’s Day falls on Friday 1 January 2027.
Bureau opening arrangements may differ from normal hours and from the main supermarket’s schedule.
For broader store-level information, customers can also check bank holiday supermarket opening times in the UK, but the Travel Money Bureau should still be verified separately.
Checking again shortly before travelling is particularly important around Christmas, New Year and Easter.
Can You Order Travel Money When the Bureau Is Closed?
Yes. ASDA Travel Money can be ordered online even when the physical bureau is closed. Customers can choose either Click & Collect or home delivery. However, Click & Collect orders still need to be collected during the chosen Travel Money Bureau’s opening hours.
ASDA currently states that Click & Collect has a minimum order of £100. Euros and US dollars can be available for collection in as little as four hours at eligible locations, subject to availability. Other currencies can take up to 72 hours.
Some individual branch pages continue to display older wording stating 24 hours for euros and US dollars and 72 hours for other currencies.
Customers should therefore rely on the collection time provided during checkout rather than assuming a fixed national collection period.
How Does ASDA Travel Money Home Delivery Work?
Home delivery provides another option when visiting a bureau is inconvenient.
Current terms state:
| Home Delivery Detail | Current Position |
|---|---|
| Minimum order | £350 |
| Standard delivery | From £4.99 |
| Free delivery | Orders over £500 |
| Next-working-day option | Order before 2pm Monday to Thursday |
Delivery availability remains subject to the terms shown when ordering.
Can You Buy Currency Directly at an ASDA Bureau?
Yes. Customers can walk into a participating Travel Money Bureau without making an online order. ASDA offers more than 50 currencies, although the amount and currencies held by each bureau can vary. Popular currencies may be available for same-day purchase, subject to stock.
Euros, US dollars, Australian dollars and Turkish lira are among the commonly available currencies. Anyone requiring a less common currency should check availability before travelling.
For travel money enquiries, ASDA currently lists 0800 188 4002, with the support line available 24 hours a day.
Does ASDA Travel Money Charge Commission?
ASDA currently advertises 0% commission on its currency exchange. Card processing fees are also not charged by ASDA Travel Money, although the customer’s bank or card provider may apply its own charge. Some card issuers can classify foreign currency transactions as cash advances.
Exchange rates still matter even where commission is zero, so customers should compare the amount of foreign currency they will actually receive.
What Is the ASDA Travel Money Price Promise?
ASDA operates a Price Promise for qualifying in-store transactions. If a customer finds a better advertised exchange rate from a walk-in travel money provider within five miles of the ASDA Travel Money Bureau where the purchase is being made, ASDA says it will beat that rate, subject to its terms. Distance is measured using the AA Route Planner.
Do ASDA Rewards Members Get a Better Exchange Rate?
Yes. ASDA Rewards members can currently receive preferential travel money rates both online and in store.
For an online transaction, the customer enters a valid Rewards number. For an in-store transaction, the Rewards barcode is shown at the bureau.
The benefit is a preferential exchange rate rather than Rewards points or cashpot earnings on the travel-money purchase. ASDA Travel Money has also been listed as a Moneynet Gold winner for Best Travel Money Provider each year from 2022 to 2026.
How Does ASDA’s Currency Buy Back Work?
Unused foreign banknotes can normally be sold back at a Travel Money Bureau.
ASDA also offers a Buy Back Promise for £2.99 when currency is purchased. Under the current terms, eligible unused banknotes worth between £35 and £250 can be exchanged back at the original transaction rate within 45 days.
Coins are not included. Customers who did not purchase the Buy Back Promise may still be able to sell eligible unused currency at the bureau’s current buy-back rate with 0% commission.
What ID Do You Need at ASDA Travel Money?
Photo identification may be required, particularly when collecting an online order or Travel Money Card. Accepted documents can include a passport, full UK photographic driving licence or eligible national identity card. The identification should match the customer details used when ordering.
For Click & Collect, the person who placed the order must collect it and may also need the payment card used for the transaction.
What Is the ASDA Travel Money Card?
The ASDA Travel Money Card is a prepaid Mastercard designed for overseas spending. It can hold up to 22 currencies and can be topped up online, by phone or through the Travel Money Card app. It can be used for purchases wherever Mastercard Prepaid is accepted.
Customers should still review the fees before using it. For example, the current terms show a foreign exchange fee where a transaction is made in a currency that is not available or sufficiently funded on the card.
What Can You Do If the ASDA Currency Exchange Is Closed?
If the bureau has already closed, customers still have several options. An online order can be placed for a later Click & Collect appointment or for home delivery.
Travellers who need cash urgently can also compare other providers such as Post Office Travel Money, Tesco Travel Money, Sainsbury’s Travel Money or specialist foreign-exchange providers.
The exchange rate, commission, card charges, delivery fees and collection availability should all be compared rather than choosing a provider solely because it is open later.
Airport currency bureaux can be useful in an emergency, although travellers should compare the rate carefully before exchanging a large amount.
What Should You Check Before Visiting?
Before travelling to an ASDA currency exchange, confirm the bureau opening time, closing time, Sunday or bank-holiday schedule, availability of the required currency, collection status of any online order and the identification required.
Customers should also check whether their chosen supermarket actually has a Travel Money Bureau. Taking a few minutes to verify these details is particularly important for late-evening visits and last-minute travel.
Conclusion
ASDA currency exchange opening times depend on the individual Travel Money Bureau rather than one national timetable.
Current branch listings show weekday closing times ranging from around 6pm to 8pm, with many Saturday bureaux closing around 6pm and most Sunday branches operating shorter hours. The supermarket itself may remain open much longer.
Customers can also use Click & Collect, home delivery, the Travel Money Card and in-store currency services. ASDA currently offers 0% commission, preferential Rewards rates, a Price Promise and optional Buy Back Promise.
Checking the dedicated bureau listing and the latest order confirmation before travelling remains the most reliable way to avoid a wasted journey.
