Travelex has introduced a new mobile store, bringing travel money closer to customers in high-traffic areas of airports.
The concept, named Nomad, is being piloted at Zurich Airport. Designed with convenience and accessibility in mind, it offers the same in-store capabilities as a larger traditional fixed retail location.
“Travelex is proud to pioneer our latest on-the-move mobile travel money store concept, catering to our customers’ expectations for a convenient, accessible and secure experience,” said Travelex CEO Philip Bowcock.
“Travelex’s Nomad ensures we are at the forefront of accessibility to better serve our airport customers while meeting a wide range of travel money requirements. We’re excited to partner with Zurich Airport and have already seen great success on Nomad’s rollout,” Bowcock added.
The Nomad store offers several new design features, including a retractable screen displaying exchange rates and promotions. When in closed position, the store is said to be small and secure enough to be left in airside locations outside of trading hours. It features a simple pop-up system, enabling it to be ready to trade in minutes.
The Nomad store can be combined with other Travelex assets, including ATMs and fixed store locations to create expanded, semi-permanent stores during peak trading periods. These semi-permanent stores ensure vacant airport retail units are leveraged when available but can also be quickly converted back to mobile stores when permanent retail space isn’t required.
The company plans to pilot further units across other international markets in 2026.
