Cash Converters International Limited is a world wide franchise company that specialises in stores which buy and sell second hand goods and offer loans to people. (Not in all locations.)
This company began in Perth, Western Australia in 1984. It was founded by Brian Cumins and a group of partners. In four years the partners were operating seven separate outlets in the Perth area under a variety of trading fascias. Having proved the concept, the partners converted all seven outlets overnight to a prototype of the current Cash Converters style.
Recently the United Kingdom division launched an eBay style auction site, using selected branch stock, which also carry warranties, unlike the more established site.
