#4Family-run in Munich since 1960
Family-run in Munich since 1960 , Rekoda combines currency exchange with the purchase of gold and other precious metals. At Schillerstraße 5, it is a practical stop for travelers exchanging dollars for euros and for anyone who prefers personal guidance rather than a purely transactional counter. Pricing is updated daily, and the service style is warm and approachable, leaving room to ask questions before proceeding.
Its pairing of foreign-currency exchange and precious-metal buying makes the business useful for more than a single travel errand. Extra care is advisable with large transactions or currencies whose older banknote series may no longer be accepted: inspect each note and verify that it remains current before leaving the counter. This is particularly relevant when receiving unfamiliar denominations, where a careful check can prevent problems when the money is later spent or exchanged.

Map and areas
Use the map to check where each exchange or transfer option sits within Munich and to identify the most convenient branch for your journey. The listed businesses include currency exchange specialists as well as transfer locations. Distance matters when you are carrying cash, travelling to a station or arranging a time-sensitive transfer. Open the individual profile before setting out to confirm the service, currencies and current availability.
Start with the currencies supported, the amount you will receive and the complete fee. Then check the branch location, identification requirements and cash availability. A convenient option is not necessarily suitable if it cannot handle your currency or transaction type.
Several listed businesses focus on money transfers as well as currency services. Confirm the destination country, transfer method and required documents before visiting. The branch can also clarify whether the recipient collects cash or receives the funds through another channel.
Requirements depend on the transaction, amount and destination. Bring valid identification and ask the selected branch what it accepts before setting off. For transfers, you may also need recipient details and information about the purpose or destination of the funds.
For common currencies, availability may be straightforward, but larger amounts or less common currencies deserve a prior check. Contact the chosen service to confirm stock, collection timing and any limits before making the journey.
The listed Western Union branches include gold sales in their service descriptions. If that is your reason for visiting, confirm the exact branch service and current availability first, since not every money transfer location necessarily handles the same transactions.
