Post Office bureau de change kiosks at selected WHSmith stores

People going abroad this year can now pick up their holiday money at the same time as their summer reads. Shoppers dashing around the high street for last minute holiday bits and pieces will be able to use 50 new Post Office bureau de change kiosks at selected branches of WHSmith.

Most of the kiosks - located in prime shopping centre and high street locations - will be open seven days a week and close later than traditional Post Office bureaux, giving holidaymakers even more choice and convenience in how and when they purchase travel money in advance of their break.

The kiosks are opening at a rate of five per week; participating WHSmith shops will display a Post Office sign showing the latest foreign exchange rates in the store window.

Helen Warburton, head of Post Office travel services, says: "The new kiosks are a great way to bring the nation's favourite currency provider to more and more people, communities and outlets. We hope that this will make it even easier for our customers to benefit from our award-winning travel services in a way that suits them."

Post Office kiosks have already opened in 30 WHSmith stores including Exeter, Bristol, Brent Cross, Kingston-upon-Thames and Sheffield. All fifty branches will be fully operational by the autumn.
