Travelling is much less hassle when you use a prepaid currency card. Simply top up your card online and avoid queues at the local foreign exchange bureau. Travelling abroad can present enough challenges without having to endure any extra invonvenience, and it's always reassuring to be able to avoid carrying large amounts of cash around in your pocket when you're in a foreign location. Money travel cards are an easy way to ensure you've got all the cash you need.

Once you have a currency card, you just top it up online and the money is available to spend within a few hours. You can use prepaid travel cards in shops and restaurants and to withdraw cash. The money is deducted from your balance each time you spend or take money out of a cash point. It's a practical way to take money abroad - and you get access to great exchange rates.

The currency card uses CHIP and PIN security to give you peace of mind while travelling abroad. If the worst were to happen and you lost your currency card, you can only lose the money that is on the card. Some providers will even be able to get some or all of your money back, depending on the circumstances.
