Foreign Exchange/Tax Refunds
Travelex captures Sydney Airport foreign exchange services contract
Under the agreement, the market-leading foreign exchange provider will initially operate ten foreign exchange stores and over 20 ATMs in Terminal 1 from 1 July, dispensing Australian dollars and foreign currencies for passengers’ travel money needs.
The unit is located in Manchester Airport’s newly renovated Terminal 2 East, and in the landside departures hall at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Offering foreign exchange services in more than 45 currencies, the five stores also offer tax refund processing, money transfer solutions and online currency pre-order.
The additional stores strengthen Travelex’s 31-year partnership with Frankfurt Airport, where it now operates 13 stores and 30 ATMs across Terminal 1, both landside and airside.
