Prepaid currency cards

How do prepaid currency cards work?
The cards work a bit like a debit card. The money is deducted from your balance as you spend - and you can check your spending online at any time.
You just swipe it for purchases or withdraw cash at a pre-agreed rate, which is often less than withdrawing cash on a credit card or your currency account - and without the extra fees, too.
A great way to keep records too
You know when you get back from your holiday and think, "what on earth did I spend all that money on?", well with prepaid currency cards you'll be able to check. All you need to do is go online to get a statement which will show the restaurants where you used your card - or the cash withdrawals you made and the days you made them.
This facility can be really handy after a business trip. You can hand the statement in with an expense claim to show exactly what you spent and when.
