Travelex extends key industry contracts across major UK travel and retail hubs
Forex company Travelex has announced a series of leading contract extensions across key UK travel hubs, including Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Edinburgh Airport, DFDS Seaway, Dover Port and London’s Oxford Street Selfridges.
The renewal at John Lennon Airport comes as it celebrates its busiest ever year of operations, having served a record-breaking 5.6 million passengers in 2025.
Travelex currently operates two stores and 12 ATMs across the airport, where customers can walk up and purchase all major currencies, as well as collect pre-ordered travel money on the day of their trip, or buy and top up a pre-paid Travelex Travel Money Card.
At Edinburgh Airport, Travelex has extended its contract until 2030, having first launched services in 2021. Travelex currently operates five stores and a mobile on-the-move kiosk alongside twelve ATMs at the airport, both airside and landside across arrivals and departures.
“We’re delighted to be extending our long-standing partnerships with some of the UK’s busiest and most iconic travel gateways and retail destinations. These renewals are a testament to our strong relationships and reputation, and endorse the value we deliver to our partners and customers alike. 2026 is especially important as we celebrate our 50th year of operations and focus on our next phase of strategic growth” said Jacqueline Kelleher, Travelex, Managing Director – UK.
Lucy O’Shaughnessy, Commercial Director at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, said, “Convenient access to purchase all major currencies remains a key part of the airport offer for our passengers, and we are therefore delighted to extend our long-standing agreement with Travelex.”
Linsey Jordan, Head of Retail at Edinburgh Airport said, “We want passengers to enjoy a smooth and stress-free start to their journey, and having convenient access to foreign currency plays an important role in that. Travelex continues to deliver for our passengers, and we’re delighted to extend our partnership.”
In addition to Liverpool John Lennon and Edinburgh airports, Travelex has extended its partnership with DFDS Seaways, where it will operate euro and pound sterling ATMs on six DFDS Seaways vessels sailing between Dover and Calais or Dunkirk. Travelex has also extended its contract with Dover Port, where it operates a single store at the Eastern Docks Passenger Services Building.
Travelex has also continued its partnership with London’s Oxford Street Selfridges, which attracts more than 20 million visitors annually. The Selfridges’ partnership is one of several relationships Travelex has with high-street retail destinations across the UK. Recent years have seen the demand for pre-trip foreign exchange grow significantly, with 92% of people in the UK now purchasing travel money before their journey, according to the Travelex Travel Money Report.
Kelleher added:
“Our priority remains focussed on ensuring travel money – be that cash or card – is as secure and accessible as possible because we know that convenience is crucial for the modern traveller. By offering foreign exchange services everywhere from Selfridges to ferries mid-way through the Channel, we’re powering our customers’ access to travel money, wherever and whenever suits them.”
