## 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](/source/Automated_teller_machine) operator NoteMachine,[5] itself being owned by Corsair Capital, an American [financial services company](/source/Financial_services_company). In October 2022, it was announced that Corsair was selling NoteMachine to [Brink's](/source/Brink's), but would maintain ownership of Eurochange.[6]

The company won the MoneyAge Travel Money Provider of the Year award four years consecutively from its creation in 2016 until its discontinuation in 2019.[7]

In March 2022, [Edinburgh Live](/source/Edinburgh_Live) stated that Eurochange had the second best exchange rates for [U.S. dollars](/source/U.S._dollar) and [euros](/source/Euros) in Edinburgh, out of a range of five companies (Travel FX, Eurochange, [Tesco Bank](/source/Tesco_Bank), [John Lewis](/source/John_Lewis_%26_Partners), and [Sainsbury's](/source/Sainsbury's)) operating within the city.[8]

In December 2022, the [Association of British Travel Agents](/source/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](/source/Foreign_exchange) service operated under the ABTA brand.[9]

Eurochange has seen steady growth in locations, with an average of 30 opening a year since their acquisition by NoteMachine.[10] For example, the company opened an outlet in the [Manchester Arndale](/source/Manchester_Arndale) in 2015,[11] as well as two in [CastleCourt](/source/CastleCourt)[12] and one in [The Pavilions](/source/The_Pavilions) in 2018. The company now handles over 2.5 million customer transactions a year.[10]
