The honest math

Cash at We Change Beaubourg vs your credit card — why cash wins in Paris.

A common assumption: "I'll just pay with my credit card everywhere in Paris — it's easier." In reality, paying with a foreign credit card in France almost always costs more than exchanging cash at We Change Beaubourg before your trip begins. Here's the transparent breakdown.

The real cost comparison

Your credit card has hidden fees. Our counter doesn't.

Credit card abroad typical

Foreign transaction fee: 2 – 4 % per purchase (your bank)
Network exchange markup: 1 – 3 % above interbank rate
Dynamic currency conversion (DCC): 3 – 7 % if merchant converts
ATM cash-advance fee: 3 – 5 % + interest from day one
Opacity: actual cost only visible on statement, days later
No loyalty benefit on forex rate

Cash-to-cash at We Change Beaubourg transparent

Net rate — 0 commission added on banknote exchange
No extra charges — what you see is what you get
No DCC — direct euro banknotes in your hand
No surprise: exact EUR amount known before the transaction
Free privilege card — preferential rate, even better
Instant cash — works everywhere in Paris (shops, cafés, markets)

Honest example You arrive with $1,000 USD in cash. At We Change Beaubourg you receive euros instantly at our posted banknote rate — net rate, 0 commission added, no surprise: what you see is what you get. If instead you spent that same $1,000 across Paris via credit card, your statement would typically show a higher total once your bank's foreign transaction fee, its own conversion rate and any dynamic currency conversion (DCC) pile up — holiday money gone, and not on croissants. With the free MoneyMo privilege card, the rate advantage widens even more.

💡 Pro tip for tourists who "only brought their card": withdraw the cash you'll need at an ATM when you arrive (or change at your bank before leaving), then bring those banknotes to We Change Beaubourg. The total cost is almost always lower than paying by card throughout your stay — and you enjoy peace of mind, no phone signal needed, no card lockouts.
