Soon, Canadian travelers will be able to convert their unused foreign currency into usable digital currency with TravelersBox kiosks. The company plans to deploy ten kiosks in the Toronto Pearson International Airport by this Christmas Eve, according to a press release.

TravelersBox allows users to convert foreign currency into a PayPal account, gift cards for major retailers or charitable donations. The company operates kiosks in Italy, Turkey, Georgia, Israel, Philippines and Japan, but has found its most loyal customers are Canadian or American.

"Our most active and loyal users have been Americans and Canadians, who deposit an average of over $25 per transaction through our kiosks on other continents," said Tomer Zussman, founder and CEO, TravelersBox.

"Toronto Pearson is a leading international hub and we are pleased to provide this convenience for travelers," said Michael Ross, director of commercial development and passenger communications, Toronto Pearson International Airport. "Unique services like those provided by TravelersBox improve our passenger's experience and provide an option to conveniently turn their spare change into valuable gift cards or to support the Propeller Project, Toronto Pearson's community investment program."
