Why use Sainsbury’s Travel money in Upton?
Sainsbury’s Travel money brings the convenience of a familiar, trusted setting to customers across Upton and the surrounding Wirral area. You can sort your holiday cash at the same time as your weekly shop, with no separate trip needed.
The bureau offers 0% commission, a wide choice of currencies and the option to order online and collect instore. Nectar members get access to even better rates, available both when ordering online and when buying directly at the counter.

Why buy travel money before you fly?
Airport exchange rates are typically less competitive than those available on the high street or in supermarkets. Travellers who leave their currency exchange until they reach the terminal often pay more for the same amount of foreign cash.
Buying your travel money at Sainsbury’s Upton Superstore before you fly means you arrive at the airport with your currency already sorted. Use Click & Collect to lock in today’s rate online and collect your cash from the bureau at a time that suits you. It takes just a few minutes and there’s nothing to do at the terminal except catch your flight.
If you’re flying from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the Upton bureau is around 18 miles away via the M53 and A59. Order ahead and collect your currency before you head to the terminal.
