Abta launches bespoke foreign exchange service for customers

The organisation’s new Forex service – ABTA Travel Money – will display the Abta badge of confidence, be commission free and offer competitive online rates.
 
Customers have a choice of two delivery options: click and collect, where they pay online and collect 60 seconds later from one of 190 locations; or home delivery.

 
Abta commercial director Claire Biddle said: "This is the first time that Abta has offered a foreign exchange service and it’s right to do so now.

 
"By offering both foreign exchange and travel insurance products, we are also broadening our income base, allowing us to further invest in services to members."
 
Abta has selected Forex provider eurochange to offer the service on its behalf, after a process which saw the firm emerge as having the best fit with Abta’s values.
  
When customers collect their order, they will need to present the debit card with which they made the order, their email confirmation and either a passport, UK or EU photographic driving licence or a National ID card.
