Buying Euros and then loading to Travel Card?

As the title says, is there a way I can buy euros in cash (Travel premier doing the best rate) and then load on to a prepaid travel card? Ideally somewhere on the high street?

Thanks

    Did you try Oanda for foreign spendings? Their fxglobaltransfer product works like a charm for internal payments with different currencies.

    Pointless doing that when you would get a similar rate with Cash Passport Globe in the first place.

    Settlement yesterday 1.262380. After 1.49%; 1.2435

    Purchase via TopCashBack and you get 0.5% of your initial topup back, so potentially 1,24988
