How does a travel money card work?

Travel money cards are designed specifically for travellers. It allows you to load and store a specific amount of money in multiple currencies onto the card before your trip. It is easier and safer compared to carrying foreign currency in cash, and less complicated than using traveller’s cheques, just work like your credit card or debit card. When necessary, you can withdraw money from ATMs internationally.

Compare the best supermarket exchange rate

Different supermarkets use different fee structures, which can make it hard to see which is the best Euro rate for your needs. Some use upfront commission, but it’s also common for providers to hide their fees in the Euro exchange rate they use. This way they can offer an attractive headline like ‘zero commission’ or ‘fee free exchange’ while still making money from currency conversion. To find the best supermarket exchange rates for your travel money, you’ll need to compare a few providers - looking at both the fees and the exchange rates used.
