Bolivian Money: Exchange Houses in Bolivia
Return from Exchange Houses to Banking Home Page
There are many places to change money (Casas de Cambio) in Bolivia, especially in the major cities of Bolivia: La Paz, Cochabamba and
Santa Cruz.
Most are well known and well established. Many of them also function as Western Union offices (although most DHL offices and some banks also function as Western Union offices).
Some even offer check-writing services. If you need to send a check written from a U.S. Bank account and you don't have a bank account in the U.S. you can pay them the amount you want a check written for, plus a fee for the service, and they will make the check out to whomever you choose. They have accounts in U.S. banks. Bolivian exchange houses also accept torn bills - sometimes. If you have U.S. Dollars or any other foreign currency that are torn even slightly, they will not be accepted anywhere (which seems strange to many foreigners, especially since the local
Bolivia currency
is usually quite torn, old, battered, with pieces missing, and even taped together and it is accepted as is.) So don't accept any torn bills from anyone if they have even the most insignificant tear - even if it is only 1 millimeter in size!
You can also exchange your money at local
Bolivian banks.
However, these currency exchange houses in Bolivia usually have money from many other countries whereas at banks you are limited to bolivianos and dollars (and only some take Euros). The following are some well-known Bolivian money exchange houses but there are many others.
