Information

FOREX was founded in 1965 and initially sold travel currency and provided payment services. In 2003, FOREX received a banking license and also operated banking operations until 2022. The banking operations were then discontinued in order to strengthen FOREX's position as the Nordic market leader in travel currency. In addition to currency exchange, FOREX offers other services and products related to travel. The company is currently active in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway and currently has 84 stores in the Nordic region.
