Today, we will learn about how to receive currency exchange and the currency exchange office at Incheon Airport. When traveling abroad, one thing you must do is exchange money. You can withdraw money overseas, but even for a small emergency fund, you can exchange it for banknotes in Korea in advance. If you visit a country where currency cannot be exchanged directly in Korea, you can exchange it for dollars and then exchange it for local currency abroad. .
Because you must apply for currency exchange in advance through a banking app to receive the currency exchange fee benefit, you usually apply for currency exchange in advance through the app and designate one of the Incheon Airport currency exchange centers as the receiving bank.
Incheon Airport currency exchange
Since Incheon Airport is divided into Passenger Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, you will select a pick-up location that is convenient for you at the currency exchange office of the bank where you applied for currency exchange. One thing to note here is that the operating hours of each currency exchange office are different, so check in advance. Therefore, you need to choose a currency exchange office that matches your flight time.
If you did not apply for currency exchange in advance, you must exchange it right away at the airport. The problem is that currency exchange offices also have business hours, so if you take a flight early in the morning, the currency exchange office may be closed. Also, it’s not a problem if you leave late at night. If the currency exchange office’s operating hours are closed, you can use the currency exchange office 24 hours a day.
