FRANCE. Foreign currency and financial services provider ChangeGroup has agreed a contract to offer a range of currency exchange services at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport following a tender.
The deal will see ChangeGroup operate two currency exchange branches, one in the departure lounge and the other in the arrivals area.
Services include delivery of fast travel cash in over 50 currencies, international bank transfers, travel money online services and tax refunds.
With around nine million people passing through Toulouse-Blagnac Airport each year, ChangeGroup said the location is an important addition to its French network, which is headed up by France Director Gregory Dumartin.
Eight new jobs have been created across the two branches.
ChangeGroup International CEO and Co-Founder Sacha Zackariya said: “Toulouse Airport is a vital travel hub both in terms of leisure and business passenger. It is a prestigious airport with a reputation as an extremely professionally run business with a refined understanding of its market.
“Toulouse is a fantastic addition to our network across France. There has been a major shift in the French foreign exchange market coming out of the pandemic and there is a real opportunity here for us to further expand across the country.
“One of the many goals of ChangeGroup France is to become the market leader and this is certainly a welcome step in the right direction. We look forward to developing our partnership with the team at Toulouse in the years to come.”
Toulouse-Blagnac Airport Head of Commercial, Customers and Communication Department Bruno Balerdi said: “We are glad to start a new collaboration with ChangeGroup for all our financial services, foreign exchange and tax-free, in the terminal.
“Selected following a call for tender for their quality of service, their very competitive commission rate and the training of their staff, ChangeGroup shares with Toulouse-Blagnac Airport the requirement of customer satisfaction.”
As reported, global cash management service company Prosegur Cash completed a deal to acquire a controlling stake in ChangeGroup last October.
