Matt Richardson

Head of Foreign Exchange

Matt became a Partner back in June 2023, joining us as the Head of Foreign Exchange for John Lewis Money. He has been working directly in FX management since 1995, having worked at Travelex, Deutsche Bank and J. P. Morgan. With his impressive background, Matt has the key experience and knowledge to ensure our customers receive quality currency exchange products, paired with the signature John Lewis experience.

Outside of work, Matt loves to stay active and is a keen skier, sailor, tennis and cricket player. Occasionally, he can be persuaded to go horseback riding too!

Matt says:

“For customers who live, work, study, or buy property abroad, a reliable and trusted provider is a must. We want to make your international payments as easy as possible. We’re here to manage the complicated parts, to keep things simple for you.”

Travel Money

“There's a lot that goes into planning a trip abroad, which is why we've made a point to make sure you receive your foreign currency at your convenience. Whether it's exchanging directly at one of our Bureau de Change or ordering online with next-day home delivery, we'll make sure you receive your travel money in enough time. If you're on the go, you can even pick up your currency at your local John Lewis or Waitrose.."
