    Tough luck on Travelex, but it will save consumers a lot of money if they begin to look at modern alternatives to their expensive imaginary need to 'take out currency' for any foreign trip.

It's about time organisations like Travelex stopped collecting unnecessary personal information, given that they'll inevitably lose it at some point.
