Anchorage-based ITC Travel and Tours now offers foreign currency exchange through its Web site. Using the service, called eZforex, travelers can obtain nearly any type of currency, which can arrive via UPS within 72 hours of ordering.

"The service is provided 24-7 through our Web site," ITC president Yoshi Ogawa said. "It is a good idea to have some currency on hand when arriving in foreign countries. This is a more reasonable and safe option to exchanging in the airport when you arrive."

Through the service, travelers can buy foreign currency, draft/foreign checks, foreign travelers checks and gift checks. The exchange rate is updated constantly. The site is at www.itcalaska.com.
