Use a prepaid currency card for your holiday travel money

Using prepaid currency cards for your holiday travel money can give you significant savings over conventional means of payment, such as debit or credit cards, according to travel experts.

With currency cards growing in popularity there are more and more providers, from high street banks, such as Lloyds, to specialist providers such as Caxton FX and FairFX.

According to Caxton FX and research by MoneySavingsExpert.com for example, the average couple buying £1002 of holiday travel money at a bureau de change would save €104 or £146 if they used a Caxton FX card instead.

The Caxton FX currency cards offer great value – they don’t have a monthly or application fee, there’s no transaction fee for purchases in shops and no ATM fee.

You can get a prepaid Caxton FX currency card easily online.

Caxton FX offers 3 different cards – one for the Eurozone, one for the USA and another, the Global Traveller, for the rest of the world.
