Ashland-Diversey Currency Exchange

Don’t bother going here if you need to exchange foreign currency for USD, the person behind the desk seemed to have no clue on how what to do to exchange currency, had to phone someone for instructions.
The rates they charge are insane, offered 0.1 less than the spot rate which is fine, fairly standard to not get even close to the actually exchange rate, but the cheek of charging 5% of the value on top was just too much. Walked out and went to a bank.

Stopped in for License Work and a City Sticker… left like I was old friends with the teller. Flasher parking right out front! Tasha is a rockstar! I’ll be back:)

I don’t have a ton of experience w/​currency exchanges, other than the occasional stamp buying or license plate renewal or whatnot. I stopped here today on my way to work for yet another license plate renewal (An aside– seriously State of Illinois… couldn’t this be biennial? And why did you not mail me a renewal notice? If you had, I would have renewed on time & not gotten a $ 50 ticket!). I was pleasantly surprised w/​the friendly & efficient service here. When my license plate renewal couldn’t be completed because I was due for an emissions test (which I also never got the notice for in the mail– thanks again, state of IL), the very nice man told me where to go to get my emissions tested and even told me the hours at the emissions place. I returned 30 minutes later, and he got me my renewal sticker, no problem. Thanks Ashland-​Diversey Currency Exchange for your prompt & helpful service! You were definitely a step above my other currency exchange experiences!
