A useful comparison route Start around Freedom Square and Pushkin Street, then compare Marjanishvili if it suits your route. Local discussions repeatedly point to clusters, not one permanent winner: rates can differ between neighbouring windows, while an airport counter trades convenience for a wider spread. InteliExpress at 89 Davit Aghmashenebeli Avenue showed 4.0 from 65 Google reviews on 31 August 2026. Recent reviews included smooth EUR-to-GEL exchanges and helpful staff. Low-rated reports repeatedly described rude service and rejection of dirty or damaged notes; one older reviewer said only dollars were accepted at the branch visited. FXHUB at 6 Pushkin Street showed 4.8 from 26 reviews. Its recent sample praised fast service, rates and zero commission. However, most reviews arrived within a narrow period and several were generic. The small low-rated sample included rude-service and opening-hours complaints, so the score is not strong evidence by itself. AllTrust Center at 18 Atoneli Street showed 4.9 from 1,208 reviews, making it a prominent reference point near the centre. Treat the rating as service evidence only. Compare its exact payout with the independent windows around Pushkin Street or Marjanishvili before exchanging a large amount. How to compare Use the same notes and ask: “If I sell US$1,000, exactly how many GEL will I receive?” Check both buy and sell columns: when selling USD for lari, you need the office's USD-buy rate. Confirm whether marked notes, smaller denominations or a fee change the total. For a small exchange, compare two adjacent windows rather than crossing the city. For a large one, use a live local rate board such as Myfin only as a shortlist, then verify the counter total. Count the lari and keep the receipt. USDT Georgia's National Bank registers virtual-asset service providers and requires registered status to be displayed from 2026. Search the exact legal entity in the NBG register. A Telegram quote or a cash-office sign is insufficient; agree the GEL or USD payout, wallet, KYC and receipt before transferring.
