Travelex has grown into a global business in just 25 years. The acquisition of Thomas Cook's Global & Financial Services has created a business that would have had a combined turnover of U.S. $28.4 billion in 2000.

In 2003, Travelex acquired Thomas Cook Financial Services. We only had use of the Thomas Cook name for five years, so I had to increase public awareness of Travelex to migrate all Cook operations over to it. It was a success.

The financial services industry is a ward of the state.

The changing nature of money is only one facet of the financial services revolution.

Our financial services and insurance cluster is one of Delaware's key economic drivers in the state.

This acquisition supports E*Trade's mission of democratizing financial services by giving consumers even more opportunities and choices to benefit from the value and convenience of online banking and investing,
