Compare Foreign Exchange Currency Card Providers and Foreign Exchange Rates

Travel-Money.org has pulled together a comprehensive review of Foreign Exchange Currency Cards. These are an increasingly popular way for travellers to take travel money and foreign currency on their overseas trips, and save significant amounts of money in the process. What are they, and why should I use them is a question we often hear. So, to summarise:

• Great exchange rates:These cards typically offer much better rates of currency exchange to travellers compared to buying travel money in cash or using a debit or credit card.
• Lower cost: FX Currency cards avoid the high charges associated with using UK debit and credit cards abroad.
• Security:The cards and CHIP and PIN protected, providing a high degree of security yet still allowing travellers to withdraw money from overseas ATMs and purchase goods – much in the same way as you would use a debit or credit card in your own country.
• Increased flexibility:You are able to load and reload them at any stage therefore giving you more control over your travel money.

We thoroughly recommend these cards if you are travelling overseas.If you want to know more, read more of our travel money advice here.
