Wells Fargo said it has opened international teller sites at 18 metro Atlanta banking stores.

Customers and non-customers can buy and leave with foreign currencies at the stores, the bank said. Previously, the stores ordered currency for customer delivery.

"Whether traveling for business or on vacation, our customers need the convenience and flexibility of immediate access to foreign currencies," said Gregg Napoli, executive vice president.

Georgia, where Wells Fargo will have 21 international teller sites, is one of the first Eastern states to which the bank will offer the service. The others are Alabama and Tennessee.
