FairFX PLC “Best Travel Money Retailer at the British Travel Awards 2015”

Leading travel money and currency card provider, FAIRFX has picked up the award for Best Travel Money Retailer at the British Travel Awards 2015, knocking the Post Office off its perch.

The announcement was made on 25 November at a glamorous Gala Awards ceremony, held in London and attended by close to a thousand travel industry people.

These highly acclaimed awards are selected through a public voting system and verified by Deloitte, with more than a quarter of a million people voting this year to determine the winners.

FAIRFX’s win caused quite an upset as the Post Office has won this category for the past 7 years, however the public has spoken: deciding FAIRFX is now the UK’s best travel money and currency card provider.

This is not the first time FAIRFX has challenged the Post Office. This summer, FAIRFX carried out an investigation into the way the Post Office treats its customers and revealed they were being cheated out of holiday spending money simply because of where they lived. The Post Office Mystery Shop which took place all over the UK revealed customers were losing out on £35 for every £500 of euros bought, a practice which was not transparent and left Post Office customers short changed.

Commenting on the win, FAIRFX CEO, Ian Strafford-Taylor said: “We’re extremely proud of this award as we know our travel money products deliver greater value to British holidaymakers and now the public has confirmed this too.”

He added: “When FAIRFX launched we set out to challenge and disrupt the travel money sector and the fact these awards were based on public votes is incredible recognition of the hard work we do to provide customers with highly competitive rates and convenient travel money products. We see this as the ultimate testament of customer satisfaction and are delighted with this overwhelming praise and support and to receive this accolade.”

British Travel Awards’ chief executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “Holidaymakers regard the British Travel Awards winner’s logo as the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who are the best travel companies and FAIRFX is to be congratulated on their achievement.”

FAIRFX is a leading provider of prepaid currency cards, travel money and international money transfers to personal as well as business customers.
