overseas money advice

wsmith

Hi I'm visiting Singapore and Australia in a few months :T and wanted to have a preloaded and credit card to take with me, I've applied for halifax but they haven't accepted me (hate being rejected, lol) so any advice would be welcome, had a look at the FairFX but they say euros and dollars so not sure if this is a good thing to go for. Any advice gratefully received to make this expensive trip without hidden charges.;)

FairFX do an 'Anywhere' card
No idea how it compares though

Get a pounds sterling card.

One of the pre-paid cards is also available in Aus$ although if you are spending much time in Singapore, it won't be ideal.

Don't just rely on one card. You should always take a back-up card(s) even if they are expensive to use.

ICE International GBP £ Travellers Cashcard.
Kalixa Pay is better(using their Promo Code to waive the card issue fee) if you are one for purchases and larger cash withdrawals.

Those are the current top two IMO.
