Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order more than one currency at the same time?

How much can I order online from first direct?

You can buy up to £2,500 of Travel Money via our website within a 60-day period. If you’d like to order a larger amount, just give us a call and we’ll be happy to help. Please note that you can only buy Travel Money with a first direct account.

Can my order be cancelled?

You can’t cancel an order once you’ve placed it. You can, however, refuse to accept the delivery. If you do so, we’ll provide a refund using our buy-back rate. This isn’t the same rate as the purchase rate, so you may lose money on the transaction. Also, if you paid by credit card, the credit card fee won’t be refunded.

We can cancel or refuse your order if we believe it isn’t for personal use or think that the order may cause us issues with any laws or regulations.
