“With international travel returning more quickly than anticipated, we are fully focused on simplifying our customers’ access to international money however and whenever”, Wazacz said. “These new stores and partnerships, plus the expansion of ATM click-and-collect across the UK, will play an important role on that journey.”

In a previous interview, Wazacz told RBI cash continued to be “the prevalent and most important means of people moving their wealth internationally when they travel”.

“If we look at the demographic trends in the world, the rates at which travel is increasing is much faster than the rate at which cash usage is declining in travel”, he added.
