The best currency exchange deals are at the private bureaux that don’t charge commission, and there are plenty of them. Addresses for exchange bureaux include 101 Dizengoff St, 114 Dizengoff St, 308 Dizengoff St, 92 Allenby St and 97 HaYarkon St. There are also exchange desks at the foot of the Opera Tower escalator and the top floor of the Dizengoff Centre. These offices are generally open for business Sunday to Thursday from 9am to 9pm and Friday from 9am to 2pm.
Oddly enough, the best place to change a travellers cheque is at a post office, which will do it with no commission. ATMs are available at major banks Leumi, Mizrahi and Hapoalim, one of which can be found on just about any city block and in any shopping mall. Note that the American Express office in Tel Aviv will not change travellers cheques; this is done in Jerusalem.
