THE Sainsbury's at Bridgemead has reopened its travel bureau.

Now that travellers can visit countries abroad again, the supermarket's bank service is ready to serve customers again.

Customers will once again be able to buy and sell a range of currencies and transfer money abroad with Western Union at their local Sainsbury’s supermarket.

The re-opening comes as travel companies have recorded a boom in holiday sales following the UK and devolved governments announcing that Britons would be able to travel to several countries without quarantining on their return.

If holidays are cancelled due to these unprecedented times, customers can return their travel money at the exchange rate purchased if they retain their receipt.

Sainsbury's Bank's customer director Jason King said: “We’re delighted to welcome back travel money customers to our Bridgemead store.

"Whether it’s buying currency for a holiday abroad, selling back any extra from your trip or sending money to friends and family overseas with Western Union, we’re open and ready.”

Strict hygiene procedures will be in place to ensure safe handling of cash, protecting both staff and customers.
