In exchange means you are swapping one for another. It is not a place, hahaha! Rather, in exchange should be read like an idiom. The two words “in exchange “has just 1 meaning

Hey there! ”In exchange” in this context means that the person agreed to give you Korean money in return for your traveler’s check. It’s not the name of an act or a place, but rather a phrase indicating a trade or swap.

It is like a trade. What I have, I give to you and what you have, you give to me. Both sides get something.

It means, you give your traveller’s check to him, and you will get Korean money (S.Korean Won) in return. Basically a swap, as “tahming” wrote.
