Where to change money safely in Santiago?




The Chilean currency is the Chilean Peso and is generally the only one accepted in the country; currency exchange is not complicated and does not require higher requirements, and as it is known, there are money exchange offices at the airport, this is the worst option you can choose next to those offered by large hotels, since they do not usually offer good exchange rates and there are great possibilities that they will charge you quite high commissions.
We advise you to go to some currency exchange agencies that are in Santiago Centro on several of its main streets, in Providencia on Avenida Pedro de Valdivia or Avenida Providencia, in Vitacura you will find on Calle Alonso de Cordova. In this article we will give you the information to find the best money exchange option.

In Santiago it is easy to change the American dollars, euros, Argentine pesos, Peruvian soles, Brazilian reals and Australian dollars to Chilean pesos, other currencies are difficult for them to accept, and to avoid problems, it is to arrive in the country carrying American dollars or euros.

In almost all hotels, restaurants, shops and commercial premises, credit card payment is accepted without incurring an additional cost. Most ATMs also accept international cards and deliver local currency. It is easy to find banks and ATMs around the city, especially on main avenues, shopping malls and service stations.

Always compare the exchange rate they offer you with the average exchange rate in the market to make sure you are not being ripped off. Never, under any circumstances, change money on the street; Although the exchange rate may be very attractive, street money changers are usually masters of the art of deception. They will trick you using a calculator, or giving false bills, or they can even run away with your money.

Other places in Santiago:
  • Arturo Merino Benítez Airport
  • Santiago Bus Terminal
  • Malls
  • Hotels and hostels

Any these 4 options you will find exchange houses but they are the ones that will have the highest interest rates, and unless you do not have any option to go to all the ones we have described above, you can change here.
If we put the airport on a scale it would be the most expensive, then hotels, shopping centers and finally the bus terminals.

We hope this information has been useful to you, if you have further questions about Santiago or Chile, you can send us a message to International Students Santiago or instagram @iss_chile
