MONTREAL – FlightHub, a subsidiary of Momentum Ventures and a leading Canadian online travel agency, has announced the launch of a new currency exchange offering in collaboration with International Currency Exchange (ICE).

FlightHub is the first online travel agency in North America to offer currency exchange reservations directly in the booking process. Adding product options that simplify travel management is just one more way FlightHub is working to improve Canadians’ travel experience.

Competitive exchange rates

FlightHub and ICE are committed to providing seamless currency exchange services to all travelers. This ensures that individuals can conveniently exchange their currency upon arrival or departure at relevant Canadian airports, either before or after security. By purchasing foreign currency from ICE via FlightHub, Canadians save up to 60% on regular collection fees per transaction, making the process not only convenient but also cost-effective, especially during exchange rate fluctuations.

Click, collect and get started

With this new service offering, customers can reserve cash before their trip via the FlightHub website in less than three minutes and then collect it at one of the ICE pickup points. ICE also provides customers with a contact center that provides customer support and assistance to ensure a smooth reservation process. Once Canadians reach their selected collection point, the cash will be ready and waiting for pickup.

An additional benefit is that there is no obligation to purchase foreign currency through ICE if circumstances change. Customers only pay the foreign currency when they arrive at the ICE kiosk. If the customer decides not to use ICE’s services, there will be no financial loss because this flexibility is integrated into the purchase process.

“Buying foreign currency can be a hassle, especially if you have to travel to a bank or other exchange offices,” says Henri Chelhot, CEO of FlightHub. “Our mission at FlightHub is to provide Canadians with practical solutions to alleviate common travel stressors. Partnering with ICE to introduce a seamless currency option to the Canadian market aligns with our commitment to providing accessible and convenient travel experiences.”

“Cash is an essential part of every traveler’s wallet and we are excited to partner with FlightHub to provide this value to our customers,” said Shamir Desai, ICE President. “This partnership is consistent with our goal of maintaining leadership and our vision to create opportunities to facilitate currency conversion in Canada.”
