The Currency Club

indiasign

Has anyone used this organisation for holiday currency?

It's not mentioned on TravelMoneyMax, but seems to have comparable rates to most of the London Exchanges (slightly less than the Clarity card, but i don't want to use that) and seems to have good ratings on Trust Pilot

Anyone?

But their rates are crap.

If you're in Europe (See T&C) a Metro Bank account means FREE withdrawals and spending with the full Mastercard rate.

For spending (not withdrawals) Kalixa Pay (Pre-paid Mastercard) means free debit card loading, no spending fees. Got 1.23 £ to Euro today. Currency club quoting 1GBP = 1.1834 EUR for same amount. Why would I want to pay more to your people? I'm not a d**n charity!

(Other cards are available)

Have you had a look on Google Street view at their registered address?

Barge pole comes to mind?

I generally try to avoid doing business with any company who creates fictional characters in order to defend/promote their company on MSE

Thanks for the replies -

PeteDoff, on the day I checked their site, their rates were comparable to the other foreign exchanges recommended on Travel Money Maximiser - I haven't looked since. As i said in my OP, I don't want to use a card as i prefer to use cash - just a personal thing

OTB - Never occurred to me to Street View their address, so thanks for that

DTD - thanks for the link to the previous thread - I agree the glowing posts do look a little suspect to say the least, so i think I'll steer clear
