Best prepaid card for Icelandic Kronas?

chriiiiiiiis

I'm travelling to Iceland shortly and want to know what card is best to use?

You will need a card in ££ as there isn't an Icelandic krone one and you don't want two sets of charges

TakeThis

Travelex Cash Passport Globe or the Kalixa Card ordered via TopCashBack or Quidco (if you have an existing Quidco account).

Cashback website > Travelex > Globe card.

Do not load the Prepaid card with any of these bank cards as they(the banks) may levy a charge.: Barclays, Lloyds TSB, Natwest, Santander or RBS. Co-op may charge too, but may refund if pressed(Simply because there is nothing in their T&Cs about this charge).

Thanks for your help

My partner has a Caxton FX global traveller card - how does this compare to the ones you mentioned above?

I also noticed that the travelex globe card website did not give any rates for Icelandic Kronas, does this mean its out of the question?

They are Global cards.....

Caxton Global card charges 2.75% by taking that out of the wholesale rate.
TCPG 1.49% by not touching the wholesale rate, just charging a separate fee(1.49%)

Neither show the rates, as they both work the from Mastercard/Visa 'wholesale' rate. You can find those on the respective websites.
