There is no fee for ordering foreign currency online. The bank receives compensation from the purchase and sale of foreign currency banknotes in the form of the difference (also known as the spread) between the price we pay to obtain the foreign currency and the price at which we sell the foreign currency. There is, however, a delivery fee of USD$7.50 on all foreign currency orders less than USD$1,000; this fee is waived on orders of USD$1,000 or more.
Payment for online foreign currency orders can only be made using a Bank of America checking or savings account. If you are a relationship client, you may place an order using cash at a financial center. Cash payment is required at the time the order is placed.
Foreign currency transactions are rounded up to the nearest and smallest foreign currency denomination available in paper form. For example, if you were purchasing euros, your calculation would be rounded up to the next multiple of 5 euro, since that is the smallest paper denomination of euro (smaller denominations of euro are coins, and Bank of America does not order or exchange foreign coins).
Your total order must be a minimum of USD$100. If you are ordering multiple currencies, the minimum amount for each currency is USD$25.
You can choose to receive your order in small, large or mixed denominations. Denominations are always subject to availability.
