FAIRFX wins British Travel Awards' Best Foreign Exchange /
Travel Money Retailer 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 GBP35 for every GBP500
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
