4) Why does the Chilean Peso to Peruvian Nuevo Sol exchange rate seem cheaper and more attractive in the Internet than in exchange businesses, including Global Exchange? The exchange rates you can see on your mobile phone come from Internet currency converters. These rates are for currency wholesalers (foreign exchange transactions for financial and international trade companies), not for the public. Those cheaper rates are for the foreign exchange operations (FX market), not for currency exchange operations cash-to-cash. For this reason, in the companies that offer the service of change you will never find the same change published in the converters but the one that each company has fixed according to the characteristics of their service.
5) What is the difference between foreign exchange and currency exchange? Foreign exchange (Forex or FX, for short) is the market that establishes the value of the currencies in which international transactions will be performed, at a wholesale level. Currency exchange, on the other hand, is the market in which individual currencies are sold in retail on a certain price depending on demand. Currency exchange entails cash transactions, thus adding logistic costs, and therefore their exchange rates are somewhat "worse" than the Forex rates, which only move money between accounts.
6) What is the difference of changing my Chilean Peso to Peruvian Nuevo Sol with you or at a bank? At Global Exchange you can order online and collect and pay your currency at the airport before you fly, with a 5% off the exchange margin. Therefore, the online price is lower than the one you get when you change in person at the airport (you get more foreign currency for the same amount you pay).
