Tesco Finance is offering free next-day delivery on foreign currency as part of it service to travellers this summer.

Customers can pick up their commission-free currency, along with their weekly shop, in one of 120 stores in the country, Tesco said this week.

But anyone ordering currency online in August will qualify for free delivery of their holiday cash, provided they order over £150.

A spokesperson for Tesco Travel Money, said many people were booking last minute holidays this year, but it did not mean there would not be enough time to get a good deal on foreign cash.

"Getting a good rate on your foreign currency can make your holiday money stretch a lot further, and ensure you don't lose out on any savings you might have made by picking up a cheap break."

The delivery service runs from Monday to Thursday. Tesco customers can also pick up their holiday money late night or on a Sunday at the stores.
