Exchangers in Kutaisi, where to buy lari? Where to deposit dollars and rubles?
Svetlana.
How are things in Kutaisi with currency exchange?
Kirill.
There are a lot of exchange offices in Tbilisi: banks, exchangers, money changers. The city is large-scale, and therefore there are more opportunities. Here you can search for a better course, and choose a suitable operation – how to convert and what? If it's rubles, it's better at an exchange office. If dollars, then the exchange rate can be high both in the bank and in the exchanger. Now at each metro station next to the ticket counter, a currency exchange point is installed.
Kutaisi is a city with an international airport, the second largest and most important in Georgia. A local Liberty Bank point, TBC PAY ATMs and Card Bank are open 24 hours on site. However, buying local lari at the airport, you can lose a fairly large amount on commission and at a lower rate.
In the city of Kutaisi there are many banks engaged in the exchange of rubles, dollars, euros and even hryvnia. Not so many, but there are a sufficient number of exchange offices. Exchange rates do not differ from Tbilisi – in order to sell more profitably, you need to run, search, however, as in any unfamiliar place. The main thing here is not to get cheap, and at the average exchange rate there is always an exchanger or a bank.
In Kutaisi, payments are made by bank card, perhaps you will need cash in small quantities. Specify the information about your bank, are there any commissions, what percentage? Cashback? Today it is available to return from vacation, including from Georgia, with a full card of "kickbacks" for goods.
Yes, the hotel will be happy to exchange money for you, although this is illegal. In Georgia, it is impossible to settle by any means other than the national currency – lari. The rate is underestimated terribly, even minus 25% may be. This is the most extreme case, you can use the exchange of the minimum amount for small expenses.
With a private seller (both goods and services), you can pay in dollars, euros and even rubles, you can negotiate. Again... the course will be offered clearly below average.
The exchanger on Chavchavadze Avenue 57/59 can advise, a good rate and without risk. Pay attention to the commission fees, ask how much they will give you on hand. The fact is that a sign with a very high exchange rate, as a rule, contains a commission for the exchange. I've even seen a three percent rate!
Today you are already going savvy, the Internet will tell you the average cost of the dollar, ruble. And there, be guided by the situation.
