Buy your holiday currency online with next day delivery - Peopleschampion.com signs deal with Travelex

Consumers can now get their euros, dollars, yen and yuan delivered next day to their home with a new service created by Travelex for Peopleschampion.com, one of the fastest growing financial and travel sites in UK.

Peopleschampion.com, a leading UK price comparison site, has signed a deal with Travelex, the world’s largest retail foreign exchange specialist with the world's largest airport branch network, to give holidaymakers and business people easier access to foreign currency.

Travellers simply need to visit the Peopleschampion.com website and type in the amount for the ability to purchase over 70 currencies in cash or travellers cheques. The site also includes a cash converter that compares rates to ensure you are getting the best rates. It’s then as easy as filling in your credit or debit card details and delivery address. While anyone buying over £500 worth of currency also gets free delivery.

Alternatively, a Peopleschampion.com customer can pick up the currency at the airport just before their flight. The customer arrives at the Travelex desk and the currency is waiting. Travelex operates in most of the UK’s major airports and in 700 locations around the world.

Jim Spowart, the chairman of Peopleschampion.com, said: “We are delighted to be bringing foreign currency and travellers cheques to our customers. It’s safe and simple to use - and without any hassle. Travelex are world leaders in the field of currency exchange and we’re delighted they have teamed up with Peopleschampion.com.”

“For Peopleschampion.com, the idea is to keep our rates competitive. We chose Travelex because they are regularly among the best buys for foreign currency and they have outstanding customer service. Our aim is to give our customers the best deals.”
