ADDITIONAL airports around Asia will be home to more than 40 TravelersBox kiosks by the end of 2016.
These kiosks allow travellers to deposit their leftover foreign currency into online accounts such as PayPal, Skype, iTunes and Starbucks gift cards. There is also a donation button for travellers to donate to a preferred cause.
Tokyo’s Narita International Airport is the second airport in Asia to receive the physical-to-digital currency convertor kiosks after Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Tomer Zussman, co-founder and CEO of TravelersBox, said: “For the Asian market we’ve given specific attention for each of the local travellers’ nationalities. Solutions such as Nets Flash Card for Singaporeans, Lazada for South-east Asian travellers and more, will soon be available.”
The company has also entered into a partnership with Baidu wallet, tapping the Chinese market.
TravelersBox currently have over 75 kiosks located in airports around the world.
