You can only change your sterling into Dinar when you arrive in Tunisia, either at exchange booths at airport or at the exchange desk of your hotel, or a bank.
The Dinar is a 'closed currency' which means you are not allowed to take it out of the country.
Exchange rate is set daily by the Tunisian treasury so its the same wherever you change your money.
As above from Julie, but change a little as you need it, around £20-£30.00 sterling as you have to change any notes back at the airport before you leave and may lose out on the exchange rate. Use any coins for tips although some shops take them in the airport. Also keep a receipt if you get one from the hotel cashier just in case it is asked for at the airport bank, although we've never been asked yet.
The Kuwaiti dinar (KD) is divided into 1,000 fils. Coins are of 10, 20, 50 and 100 fils, notes in denominations of KD0.25, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 and 20. $1 = KD0.3058 and currently £1 = KD0.4950.
It’s wise to have some local currency when you arrive to cover small purchases and taxi fares, although you might well be met at the airport by your sponsor’s staff or your new colleagues.
Currency exchanges and banking facilities are available at most major airports and many are open 24 hours a day. Exchange rates, however, are unlikely to be favourable at these outlets. More competitive rates can be obtained from city-centre financial establishments. You should avoid changing money at your hotel, as hotel rates are probably the worst on offer.
Importing & Exporting Money There are no restrictions on the import and export of funds into and out of Kuwait.
Everyone holding a residence visa in Kuwait is allowed to open a bank account and to import and export funds, although it’s unusual for people to bring funds into the country. Accounts held overseas are of no interest to the fiscal administrations in any of the states. No declarations of currency are required when entering any of the territories, so travellers can move currencies in and out without restriction and in any form that they choose.
International bank transfers are an area of local expertise, as handling the outflow of money has been a lucrative industry in Kuwait for some years. The volume involved reflects the large number of expatriates who move to the region and who export the majority of their earnings to their home country. Many open offshore bank accounts to avoid income tax in their own countries.
All the retail banks will transfer money to any destination and in any currency. Many people find it convenient to use their own bank to transfer money overseas, but there are plenty of institutions offering this service, so shop around to obtain the best deal. The main variables involved in transferring funds overseas are the exchange rate offered by the different institutions and any commission charges. The rate quoted might look attractive, but if the combined charges are high, you might be better off elsewhere. At the receiving end, your own bank will undoubtedly make a charge too, depending on the amount involved. Some banks are greedier than others, and loyalty to long-standing customers seems to be a thing of the past.
Apart from banks, there are plenty of exchange companies operating in Kuwait, usually owned by the major trading families, who have long experience in the business and frequently give better rates than the banks. Different transfer systems are available, and the speed of transfer is the main determinant of the charge levied. The methods are postal, bank-to-bank, telex, telegraphic and SWIFT (or similar titles). Banks and exchange houses in Kuwait are generally competitive, speedy, accurate and reliable, but the efficiency of the transaction also depends on the institution involved at the receiving end. Electronic transfer is usually the quickest method, although long delays can occur if you’re sending funds in, for example, US$ to a GB£ account, and delays can also occur between different banking systems (e.g. if the banks have no reciprocal arrangement). It’s therefore simpler and quicker to send money between branches of the same bank or banks with close affiliations. You should monitor the charges being made at the various stages until the money arrives in your account and query any that you feel are unwarranted or excessive.
If you intend to send significant amounts of money abroad for business transactions, such as buying a property, ensure that you’re given the commercial rate of exchange. The tourist rate or standard rate that you see quoted in your newspaper or posted on the bank’s currency exchange board can be considerably bettered for large exchanges and transfers.
Another way to transfer money is to use a bank cheque or draft, which you can send yourself by registered mail or courier or which can be sent by bank-to-bank mail at a small additional cost. If, however, the cheque or draft is lost, stolen or goes astray for any reason, this can cause you a lot of administrative ‘hassle’. Personal cheques can be sent, although these are subject to delays in clearing. For example, a US$ personal cheque made out to a GB£ account will go from your UK bank to a New York clearing system before the funds finally return to your account, and this can take some time. It’s obviously essential to check that all the details shown on a cheque or draft are absolutely accurate.
Withdrawals of cash from an overseas account can be made using an international network such as Visa or Mastercard. It’s also possible to withdraw cash using a credit card, although this incurs high charges. Foreign currency can be changed at many outlets in Kuwait, although, as mentioned above, it’s inadvisable to change currency at your hotel, where the rate will invariably be much less favourable than at a bank or bureau de change. The country’s bureaux de change usually offer competitive exchange rates, but you should check to see if commission applies, and it’s worthwhile shopping around. Most airport exchanges handle major foreign currencies, but for obscure currencies you may need to make special arrangements.
Carrying travellers’ cheques is more convenient and generally safer than carrying a lot of cash. However, at certain times and in some places it can be difficult to cash travellers’ cheques. Shops and restaurants, for example, don’t readily accept travellers’ cheques. As well as banks and bureaux de change, most hotels change travellers’ cheques, but at much poorer rates of exchange. Banks charge a small commission for exchanging travellers’ cheques and the exchange rate is invariably better than that offered for the conversion of banknotes. Proof of identity (e.g. passport) is required.
Always keep a separate record of travellers’ cheque numbers when you cash them, noting when and where this takes place. Most cheque issuers offer a replacement service for lost or stolen cheques (although there’s little danger of theft in Kuwait, where the crime rate is low), but the time taken to replace them varies significantly. American Express claims to have a free, three-hour replacement service at any of their offices worldwide, provided that you can supply the serial numbers of the cheques in question. Without the serial numbers, replacement can take some days.
It’s unlikely that you will be able to purchase travellers’ cheques in Kuwaiti Dinars, and, as the currency is tied to the US$, you should use US$ cheques (or cash) in preference to any other in order to avoid possible exchange fluctuations.
Don’t change travellers’ cheques to any currency other than that of the country you’re in. For example, if you’re travelling between different Gulf states, resist the temptation to change your money in one place to meet your needs in all the different states that you’re visiting. If you do, you’re likely to find that the exchange process takes two steps: if you’re buying Saudi riyals in Kuwait, for example, your dollars will be converted to Kuwaiti dinars and then from Kuwaiti dinars to Saudi riyals. Although the currencies are linked, there will be a commission charge on each transaction.
