Travelex shuts UK foreign exchange bureaus, starts talks on funding

(Reuters) – Foreign exchange company Travelex on Friday said it has shut all its UK foreign exchange bureaus for around eight weeks due to the coronavirus outbreak and started discussions with its stakeholders for continued access to funds.

The company said its stakeholders raised concerns about the difficulties faced by its UK-listed owner Finablr , adding there is no longer an overlap between the boards of the two firms, reflecting independence from Finablr and its shareholders.
