    Well all I know is the USD came out for less UKP with Caxton than Fairfx both on Mastercard on transactions in the last week at the same bank. The figures were exactly as quoted from the online statements of both companies.

    Which cards?? Did you miss my ever so gentle hint about comparing like with like?

    The Anywhere card would give a better rate than either Caxton card.

    I would love to see screenshots if you could blot out any personal details.

    You still haven't mentioned which cards.... Is it a secret?

    Sorry for not getting back earlier - blessed work gets in the way of things like this...and where I am blocks the use of photobucket so have to do it from another location.

    There's no secrets, I am here to learn. Please take a look and tell me where I am wrong.

    The Caxton card is a Global Traveller Mastercard and FairFx is dollar/Mastercard pre-paid.

    FairFx Anywhere card is their counterpart to the Caxton Global.
    You would have the same problem with the Caxton Dollar card that you did with the FairFx Dollar card.

    Sent you a PM to clarify.
