Is the Xchange of America website secure?

The Xchange of America website employs the latest 256 – bit encryption technology ensuring your information submitted is secure.

Why do you ask for so much information like my Date of Birth and Social Security Number?

We are a licensed currency exchanger and deal with money, so we are subject to rules and regulations like your bank. We are required by Federal Law to collect this information to help prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. This information stays with our compliance department and is strictly confidential.

What does it mean to Get Verified?

Imagine 4 clicks and your order is confirmed and completed, this is Get Verified. Upon entering information and answering a series of four questions (called Identity Verification) we are able to confirm your identity. This allows for the efficiency and speed of the ordering process every time you log into your account and place an order. Currently, compliance requires you to Get Verified every 90 days.

We do not share your information with anyone outside of Xchange of America in accordance with our Privacy Policy or required by Federal Law.

What payment methods do you accept and how quickly will I receive my order?

Xchange of America accepts many payment methods and processing times will vary depending on the payment method chosen. (Please see the specific methods you are interested in using)
Bank Wire – Once the wire is sent from your bank (domestic only) we typically see the wire pending in our account the following business day and it is credited the business day after. Orders ship within 2 business days after funds are credited.
E-check – (sometimes referred to as ACH) These funds are debited free of charge from your checking account and take anywhere from 1 business day to 5 business days to clear your account. First time E-check customers are required to upload a cleared copy of their draft displayed, from their bank account (front & bank) to mitigate fraud and verify account holder. Past E-check customers are not required to provide this, however, will be required to wait the full 5 business days or uploading proof E-check has cleared, to expedite processing.
Cashier’s check / Money Order – Customer sends in this method of payment to Xchange of America and once received order is shipped within 2 business days.
Credit / Debit card – (Our fastest form of payment) Your order is marked paid immediately upon identity verification and entering your payment in our system, and ships same day (if ordered Monday – Friday by 3pm EST) or next day if ordered after 3pm or on weekends. This only applies to “In Stock” currencies during normal volume days and sometimes cannot be guaranteed.
Collect on Delivery (COD) – Upload a copy of the cashier’s check / money order to your account, then call our office to notify our COD dept. The funds will then have to be verified from issuing bank. Order will ship within 2 business days once funds are verified. (This could take longer depending on issuing bank procedures)
