How To Read These Rates
UCE Sell Cash — you buy foreign currency
Use this rate when you bring Australian dollars and walk out with foreign banknotes for your trip. For example, if the USD sell rate is 0.70, every 1 AUD buys 0.70 US dollars.
UCE Buy Cash — you sell foreign currency
Use this rate when you sell foreign banknotes back to us for Australian dollars — for example leftover holiday money. If the USD buy rate is 0.71, you need 0.71 US dollars for every 1 AUD you receive.

What is the difference between the sell rate and the buy rate?
The sell cash rate applies when you buy foreign banknotes from us with Australian dollars. The buy cash rate applies when you sell foreign banknotes back to us for Australian dollars. Both are quoted as the amount of foreign currency per 1 AUD.
