Pre paid credit card for withdrawing cash abroad?

I would recommend that you get a FairFX Anywhere card, It gives you the Interbank exchange rate, and they take 1.5% off all usage, which is very good.
You top it up with your debit card or a bank transfer, and the funds are available to spend in a few hours.
If your daugher gets one in her name, you can top it up with your debit card, as long as your card is registered at the same address as her fairfx card.
Its free to order at www.fairfx.com. You'll have to order yourself one first and then order the secondary card via email
Your not going to get a better exchage rate unless she has a Nationwide Credit/Debit card, or a Santander Zero Card.
Another vote here for FairFX, I have switched over and successfully used it for the last 9 months abroad.0
