Travel Money Bureau Reopens at Sainsbury’s Pinhoe Road as Brits start to make summer holiday plans

With the announcement that UK travellers can once again begin to visit countries abroad, Sainsbury’s Bank has today announced the re-opening of its Travel Bureau at its Pinhoe Rd store in Exeter from the 12th July 2021.

Customers will once again be able to buy and sell a range of currencies from Euros and US Dollars to the further flung, and transfer money abroad with Western Union at their local Sainsbury’s supermarket.  Sainsbury’s offer 0% commission and competitive rates on all foreign currency, with better rates for Nectar Card customers1.

The re-opening comes as travel companies have recorded a boom in holiday sales, after the UK and devolved governments announced that Britons would be able to travel to several countries without quarantining on their return.  Travel firms have described seeing the “best day” for sales in months2.

If holidays are cancelled due to these unprecedented times, customers can return their travel money at the exchange rate purchased, if they retain their receipt.

Jason King, Customer Director at Sainsbury’s Bank said: “We’re delighted to welcome back travel money customers to our Pinhoe Rd store. Whether it’s buying currency for a holiday abroad, selling back any extra from your trip or sending money to friends and family overseas with Western Union, we’re open and ready.”

Strict hygiene procedures will be in place to ensure safe handling of cash, protecting both colleagues and customers.
