銀行業(yè)務(wù)之 換外匯　Foreign Currency Exchange

銀行業(yè)務(wù)之 換外匯　Foreign Currency Exchange

銀行可以換外幣（exchange foreign currency），但換外幣的最好地方不一定都是（not always）在銀行。通過下面的換取外幣的知識，你可以將換外幣的損失減小到最少。

匯率和手續(xù)費(fèi)（exchange rates and commission fees）

了解匯率和手續(xù)費(fèi)是換錢之前的首要（imperative）工作。一定要牢記免手續(xù)費(fèi)往往意味著不太好的匯率，他們賺取的匯率差價遠(yuǎn)超過手續(xù)費(fèi)。

⊙What currency would you like to exchange?你想換什么幣種？

⊙Do you accept$50 bills?

你們接受面額50美元的嗎？

⊙How much is the dollar trading at today?美元今天的交易價是多少？

⊙The American Dollar is worth 6.85 RMB.1美元值6.85元人民幣。

⊙I would like to exchange Chinese RMB for Euros.我想用人民幣換歐元。

⊙How much I exchange depends on the current exchange rate.我換取的金額取決于當(dāng)前匯率的高低。

⊙The dollar is in bad shape these days.美元這些天的走勢不好。

⊙What is the exchange rate for changing Chinese RMB into US Dollars?從人民幣換到美元的匯率是多少？

⊙How much is the commission fee?手續(xù)費(fèi)是多少？

⊙Is the commission fee a flat rate or percentage rate?手續(xù)費(fèi)是固定的還是按百分比收??？

⊙What's the going rate for Japanese Yen?日元的匯率走勢如何？

出國前（before departure）

許多人都喜歡在出國前換好外幣。這樣雖然會保證一個較好的匯率，但不值得推薦（not recommended），因?yàn)閿y帶大量現(xiàn)金不安全。

⊙I would feel a lot better if I had some cash in my pocket as soon as I arrived.如果到那兒時口袋里有些現(xiàn)金，我會感覺好得多。

⊙The rate of exchange is more favorable if I exchange my money at my home bank.

我在國內(nèi)銀行換錢匯率更優(yōu)厚。

⊙You should be very careful traveling with that much cash on you.旅行時帶那么多的現(xiàn)金在身上，你應(yīng)當(dāng)非常小心。

外國銀行

外國銀行收取的手續(xù)費(fèi)普遍較高，而且匯率不夠有利（unfavorable exchange rates）。當(dāng)然在一些地方也有提供好匯率的銀行，那需要全面了解（check around）。

⊙Where can I exchange my money?我在哪里可以換錢？

⊙The exchange rate is up today, you ought to get to a bank and exchange some money.

今天的匯率高揚(yáng)，你應(yīng)該去銀行換些錢。

自動提款機(jī)（ATM）

自動提款機(jī)提取當(dāng)?shù)刎泿牛╥n local currency）比較方便，但是相對昂貴，因?yàn)槟愕拈_戶行和提款機(jī)所屬銀行都要跨洋自動收取手續(xù)費(fèi)（overseas ATM usage fees）。所以，你出發(fā)前應(yīng)當(dāng)了解你開戶行的手續(xù)費(fèi)政策（fee policy）。

⊙You'd better think twice about using the ATM.使用自動提款機(jī)你可得三思。

⊙You'll get hit by a ton of fees if you decide to go the ATM route for exchanging money.

如果你通過自動提款機(jī)來換錢，那肯定會被收取不少費(fèi)用。

⊙Unless it's an emergency and you're strapped for cash, I wouldn't use the ATM to exchange money if I were you.

如果我是你，除非遇到緊急情況而且手頭缺現(xiàn)金，否則我不會用自動提款機(jī)來換錢。

信用卡（credit card）

如果你的信用卡上有Master、運(yùn)通或Visa等標(biāo)志（seal），就表明此卡在國外很多國家和地區(qū)（overseas location）都能用。當(dāng)然大部分公司都會收取一定金額的越洋使用費(fèi)（overseas usage fees）。在臨行前最好和銀行確認(rèn)一下在境外使用的費(fèi)率。消費(fèi)時記住告訴對方刷當(dāng)?shù)刎泿沤痤~（in local currency）。

⊙Do you accept Master card?

你們是否接受Master卡？

⊙I have a Visa card.Can I use that?

我有一張Visa卡，可以用嗎？

⊙We only take American Express.我們只能刷美國運(yùn)通卡。

總結(jié)

無論外出旅行還是外匯投資，換匯是必備的技能。匯率的高低是換匯的關(guān)鍵性因素，尤其當(dāng)涉及金額相對龐大時，瞬息之間就有許多的差價被蒸發(fā)。另外要考慮的是手續(xù)費(fèi)，機(jī)場的兌換處生意總是很好，但手續(xù)費(fèi)也不低。通過自動提款機(jī)換取當(dāng)?shù)刎泿攀亲畎踩⒆罘奖愕?，但手續(xù)費(fèi)也最貴?？傊纫獏R率高，又要手續(xù)費(fèi)低，就得仔細(xì)研究對比，找到最適合自己的方式。

實(shí)景對話1

A：Are you excited for your trip to Madrid?Do you have everything prepared?

B：Yeah, I guess I'm ready. I am getting excited.But there are a bunch of details to take care of before I go.

A：Like what?

B：Exchanging money, for one thing.

A：Do you have to do that now, before you leave?Can't you just wait until you are there?

B：I would feel a lot better if I had some cash in my pocket as soon as I arrived. The rate of exchange is more favorable if I exchange my money at my home bank.So I think I want to just do it here before I leave.

A：You should be very careful traveling with that much cash on you.

B：I'm not too worried. If I don't get it done before I leave, where can I exchange my money?I don't speak Spanish, so I'm afraid of not being able to find my way around the banking system in Spain. Well, I guess I could always go to an ATM.

A：You'd better think twice about using the ATM. You'll get hit by a ton of fees if you decide to go the ATM route for exchanging money. Unless it's an emergency and you're strapped for cash, I wouldn't use the ATM to exchange money if I were you.

B：Yeah, I guess you're probably right on that one.

A：Well, the exchange rate is up today, you ought to get to a bank and exchange some money.

B：我倒不是特別擔(dān)心。如果不在出發(fā)前辦好，我在哪里能換錢？我不會西班牙語。我擔(dān)心我搞不懂怎么用西班牙的銀行系統(tǒng)。我想我只能是一直去自動提款機(jī)。

A：使用自動提款機(jī)你可得三思。通過自動提款機(jī)來換錢肯定要花大量的服務(wù)費(fèi)。換作是我，除非是在緊急情況下手頭缺現(xiàn)金，否則我肯定不用自動提款機(jī)換錢。
