History

Eurochange was founded in London in 1975.[1] In 2000, the company changed its name to FX Currency Services, and in 2011, it was renamed back to Eurochange.[2]

In 2014, the company was acquired by ATM operator NoteMachine,[5] itself being owned by Corsair Capital, an American financial services company. In October 2022, it was announced that Corsair was selling NoteMachine to Brink's, but would maintain ownership of Eurochange.[6]

In December 2022, the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) announced that it would be launching a travel money service in partnership with Eurochange. This service, known as ABTA Travel Money, is the first foreign exchange service operated under the ABTA brand.[7]
