Travelex expands presence in UAE airport market with Abu Dhabi and Dubai openings

UAE. Leading foreign exchange brand Travelex has announced the opening of 13 outlets at Zayed International Airport, Abu Dhabi and Dubai International Airport.

At Zayed International, Travelex is doubling its footprint from seven to 14 stores, including six new on-the-move kiosk (OTM) locations at arrivals baggage, airside departures and pre-immigration, plus one new traditional landside unit. The landside store will offer both a cash management service enabling the airport’s businesses to process cash, as well as consumer cash services, including access to 62 currencies.

Travelex initially entered Zayed International Airport in late 2023 with seven stores and eight ATMs. Travelex said in a statement: “The new stores reflect the growing passenger demand and customer requirements of the UAE’s newest airport.”

At Dubai International (DXB), Travelex is opening six new stores across all three terminals, including traditional stores and stores upgraded from OTMs. Two ATMS dispensing UAE Dirhams were also installed at Terminal 3 arrivals earlier this year.

The 13 additional stores at the two airports means Travelex will run 60 locations across the UAE.

Travelex Middle East and Türkiye Managing Director Batu Dölay said: “We’re delighted to be expanding our presence at two of the most exciting and dynamic airports in the world. This investment reflects the growing global reach and passenger numbers of our UAE airport partners, and our commitment to providing even greater access to international travel money than ever before.” ✈
