Post Office has announced the resumption of its online foreign exchange service and branch pre-order operation which were suspended at the start of lockdown in late March.
Customers will be able to order over 60 currencies online for next day home delivery or collection from all Post Office branches. Same day online ‘click and collect’ delivery will also be available at a selected number of branches nationwide from 1 July.
“With the reintroduction of flights by leading airlines and the re-opening of resorts in Europe, we feel that it is appropriate to resume our travel money services so that we can accommodate those who want to start planning trips abroad in the coming months,” commented Nick Boden, head of Post Office Travel Money.
Pre-ordered currency purchase will be offered in selected Post Office branches alongside Post Office’s over-the-counter foreign exchange service, which enables customers to obtain euros, US dollars and up to 30 other popular currencies on demand.
They can also load the Post Office pre-paid Travel Money Card with a choice of up to 23 currencies.
Post Office added that it will offer a full refund guarantee in the event of holiday cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
