  Fourex was created in 2015 to address the problem of mixed currencies leftover after international travel. The founders developed a self service kiosk with the ability to exchange money from over 150 currencies into cash paid out in major currencies (£, € or US dollars) charging no commission or fees. Other FX retailers have limited multi-currency acceptance especially for coin. As a result, if the currency is not donated to charities on the plane or spent on souvenirs, most travellers take the currency home to save for their next trip, which likely ends up in a drawer or cupboard. There is approx £2.5bn leftover foreign currency returning to the UK p.a. Fourex provided a highly convenient solution for customers to cash in all their leftover currencies. Fourex expanded from 12 locations in early 2018 to over 90 locations, winning innovation awards from Virgin, Lloyds Bank and Amazon. Fourex revenue grew by 175% in 2 years, reaching £1.98M & EBITDA -£2.14M. Ongoing expansion is focused on international gateways; airports, rail terminals, ports and high footfall retail locations. Current partners included TfL/London Underground, Westfield, Intu, Welcome Break, Moto and Roadchef. 153 million passengers at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted Airports could access Fourex kiosks.
