So Far Customers and Media Love It
"Travelex are actually going to eat these guys [the
competition] breakfasts. It's a phenomenal card.”
Currency Cloud Founder told Business Insider magazine
“Best open-to-all Travel card,” Helen Saxson, Money
Saving Expert
“A useful tool to help cut the cost of your holiday
spending if you are guilty of falling back on your credit
or debit card when cash runs out, particularly as it
costs nothing to download the app or order the card.”
Emma Gunn, Mail Online

Which Helps Us Form Relationships & “Sell More Stuff”
• It’s all about selling
more stuff
• Ideally to more people
• Ambition of driving LTV
• And creating advocates
who promote us

13. 13
Some Reflections – This stuff isn’t easy but it IS rewarding
• Building the engine while
flying the plane
• Dealing with ambiguity
• Managing expectations
• Old vs. new

14. 14
Some Reflections – Be Bold and Push Hard For Change
• Set big goals
• Don’t accept the status quo
• Not proactively driving
customer migration assumes
customers are idiots
• Remember, if you don’t
someone else probably will
