Reviews of Metro Currency Exchange

Steve Ledvina

Easy and convenient. Call before you go to confirm that they have your currency and are open- the nature of the business is that they could run out anytime . I arrived at 10 and buzzed up with no answer. I called and he said he’d be there in 30 minutes. No problem at all, I just exchanged the currencies a couple hours later when I was passing by again. Buzz into the door, enter the door marked 2 for second floor and it’s immediately on your right.

Better rates than AAA, banks, and other exchange vendors. His flat rate fee and his selling rate are both better. And, the gentleman that runs the operation was very nice. As always, call ahead and make sure he has enough of the currency on hand that you want.

Metro Currency Exchange is the best currency exchange business I have encountered thus far in the DC metro area. Mohammed, the manager, is an absolute pleasure to work with in exchanging foreign dollars and coins. I was exchanging currency from USD to WON, and he had the best rates out of all the DC metro area businesses. He went above and beyond in customer service. I cannot believe this business even exists. I was in a hurry from the airport and, he offered to meet me there at a time that was convenient for me. Absolutely unheard of! I cannot recommend him enough. His personality and respect for his customers entails high customer service ratings, which is evidenced here in these other reviews. If you ever need currency exchange, call ahead of time to make sure they have the amount you need. The website has a call number and a text number. I texted him and received a response within 24 hours. I will come here again to exchange currency when I travel. Contact them and see for yourself. You will not regret it!

I have been doing business with Metro Currency exchange proprietor Mohammed going back to his days at the Old Post Office in DC. He is the best, most helpful, customer service-oriented professional in a business where clients are often taken advantage of. It's because of Mohammed's expertise that I don't mind making the trip over to Old Town Alexandria at his new location. I am glad I can count on him for my infrequent currency exchange needs. Last week, he even took the time to educate me on the old versus new British Pound plastic bills. A big thank you and five-star recommendation!

I went in last week to exchange maybe 5-6 different currencies. Wonderful and quick service. The man behind the counter was very nice. I told him I had a few coins left over but he told me to exchange them anyways so I made a little extra! 206 buzzes you in and then they're at the end of the hall on the second floor.

So glad I found this place. It was open on a saturday and I was able to get the euros I needed at a very competitive rate. Once at the airport, I checked the rates of the currency exchanges and was stunned at the high commissions that others charge. Thanks Mohammed, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

Mohammed has great rates and excellent customer service! He did not have enough paper currency that I wanted for the UK and sold me all of his coins at a discount. Well, this turned out to be ssssooooooo convenient as the public bus transportation there only accepted coins and I had no problems paying for miscellaneous items with the other coins. Thanks a bunch, Mohammed!

Metro Currency Exchange is very conveniently located at 817 Kings St Alexandria. It’s across from the Greek restaurant, Taverna Cretekou; in a shared secured building where you have to key in the relevant number at the door inorder for the relevant business to let you enter. Once inside it’s up one floor through the door marked 2 and then turn right and go straight down to the end of corridor. It’s a small very efficiently run Bureau de Change with great rates, broad range of currencies always available, and fantastic staff. The last two times I went, Mohammed served me and it was such a pleasure. I travel often and this place is now my number one choice for any currency stuff. Thoroughly recommended.

Great service and constantly great rates compatible to other similar currency exchange offices in Washington DC. Staff are friendly and very helpful, didn't charge me fees for my first transaction, I recommend anyone in Northern Virginia to try Metro Currency Exchange.

The gentleman who owns the place is very professional. He stayed beyond his close time of 6pm so that I could make it from DC to exchange rates. He was very patient throughout the process and gave the best rates

Good exchange rate. A bit hard to find. Dial 206 to get through door. Second floor all the way at the end.
