Travelex, a foreign currency exchange, has developed two concept stores at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. These stores will offer ATMs to allow customers to access a variety of currencies, according to a press release. Travelex amsterdam

The stores, the first of which will open in December 2021, will feature an open-store design with no glass between the customer and agent desk. Travelex also plans to provide other services, such as tax refunds or ATM pre-book and click-and-collect services, in the future.

The launch of the two concept stores comes as Travelex prepares to increase its footprint across Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. From January 2022 Travelex, which previously had five stores at the airport, will be the exclusive foreign exchange partner at Schiphol. in addition to the two concept stores, Travelex will also be opening a third traditional store (taking the Schiphol bureaux portfolio to eight) as well as launching new ATMs airport-wide.

“We believe that the open store philosophy—combining welcoming, manned desks with as many self-service elements as possible—is the future of the consumer foreign exchange experience,” Leonard Stolk, CEO of Travelex Europe, said in the release. “We are delighted to be launching these concept stores at Schiphol Airport and are looking forward to rolling out similar stores across our wider international markets in the future.
