Western Union has completed the acquisition of eurochange, a leading UK travel money retailer, from Corsair. The transaction, finalized on April 7, 2025, follows Corsair's October 2022 sale of NoteMachine's UK ATM and Testlink divisions to the Brink's Company.
Under Corsair's ownership, eurochange expanded from 96 to over 230 locations, developing partnerships with major UK retailers and financial institutions including Morrisons and NatWest. The acquisition aligns with Western Union's strategy to enhance its retail distribution model and expand its owned locations network in high-volume areas across key global markets.
The deal strengthens Western Union's consumer services segment, which experienced double-digit revenue growth in 2024. As eurochange was already a Western Union agent, the acquisition brings a long-term partner into the Western Union family while expanding available products and services. Canaccord Genuity served as the sole financial adviser for the transaction.
