Money Exchange in Chile


The Chilean currency is the peso (Ch$). Paper money is issued in notes of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000. If you attempt to pay with a 10,000 or 20,000 peso note at smaller businesses you may be turned away.

You can exchange cash and travelers checks in casas de cambio (exchange houses), as well as some banks, hotels and travel agencies. To exchange travelers checks you will have to present your passport.

Where to Change your Money in Chile



Chilean Money Exchange



There are casas de cambio downtown on Augustinas between Ahumada and Banderas. Look around for competitive rates.  It is best to exchange your money inside the casas de cambio and not with vendors on the street. You can also find exchange houses in Providencia and Las Condes.

Money changers are usually open Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Some will close for lunch between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
