FOREX Bank is a Swedish retailing bank, which is noted for specialising in currency exchange services. The company was started in 1927 providing currency exchange for travellers, at the main Stockholm Central train station.Legend says that it started by the owner of Gyllenspet's Barber Shop at the station, when he discovered that most of his customers were tourists in need of currency for their trips. Therefore, the barber began keeping the major currencies on hand.
