Our Visit

I visited 'MONEYPLANET BUSAN,' a currency exchange spot located between Jagalchi Station and Nampo Station. 

The bright yellow sign is easy to spot from a distance, making it simple to find.

Located close to Busan’s main tourist attractions, 'MONEYPLANET BUSAN is a go-to spot for many foreign tourists. Seeing so many people use it gives me confidence that it's a reliable currency exchange with great benefits.

Right below the sign, there's a monitor displaying exchange rates for different countries. It's great because you can see the real-time rate for your currency. 

Currency exchange is done at the counter. Don't forget to bring your ID (passport) as you'll need to present it for the exchange!

I showed the staff my Creatrip coupon. It's super convenient—you just show the coupon on your phone to receive the benefits!

I handed over my Japanese yen for the exchange. No need to worry—they even accept the newly issued yen bills.

After counting the money with the machine, the amount I handed over and the equivalent in Korean won were displayed on a monitor right next to the desk. It’s convenient because you can instantly see how much you’ll receive.

I received the exact amount of Korean won shown on the monitor. They provided a mix of denominations, so I didn’t have to worry about getting change later. They also gave me a receipt, making it easy to double-check the transaction.

If you want to be extra sure, it's a good idea to use a calculator to double-check the amount.

In addition to Japanese yen, you can easily exchange Hong Kong dollars and Taiwanese dollars as well.

If you go down the stairs next to the desk, there's a space like the one shown in the photo.

I used the space to double-check the amount I received and neatly organize the bills into an envelope. After exchanging, it can be hard to manage all the cash, so having a clean space to sort everything was really convenient.

The staff were friendly and helpful, making the exchange process really easy!  If you need to exchange currency during your trip to Korea,  there's no need to go far—just head to 'MONEYPLANET BUSAN' in Busan's main tourist route!
