Travelex Supercard

At the bottom of the supercard.io site there is a statement that says:

"Supercard is issued by IDT Financial Services Limited pursuant to a licence from Visa Europe"

Perhaps this is because they are still in negotiation with Visa Europe regarding a commission share set up.

I highly doubt they'd get this far without even negotiating how it would be funded!

However they're funding it, it's all done anyway. Once Apple/Google approve their app - probably next week - you can apply for the card.

Just picked this up from ML's newsletter ....but too late ! Pilot is full !!For future holidays looks like a definite runner - just take a handful of currency for start up then use the card either for purchases or ATM withdrawals -I'll be very interested to read initial feedback from anyone who gets one in time for this Summer, especially those who use it successfully in some of the Greek islands!

It's never a good idea to rely on just one card and I think the current advice for travel to Greece is to take cash.

That's what I understood lately, but I just received the email from Supercard Team - 'Important account update: No cards registered'

"We’ve noticed you don’t have any credit or debit cards linked to your Supercard account. Remember – you must add at least one payment card to your account before you can use your Supercard to save... etc"

Well I'm still awaiting a Supercard in the mail, but they appear to be talking about linking credit cards... sometimes...

Mine arrived this morning. Just got in from work and had a couple of glasses of wine so I'll wait until the morning to do anything with it.

I've just linked a credit card. Like malky, I had no problems setting it up.

Used mine when away a couple of days ago, transaction showed on the app within about an hour, nothing has been taken from my liked credit card as yet
