I would appreciate your comments.

  • I also have a Caxton FX prepaid global mastercard and am looking for advice on how good in comparison to the FairFX card Martin has mentioned previously

    Those who have a CaxtonFX card (I don't), and I think there have been more than one variety, try to compare it to those now recommended in the MSE article, and perhaps let us know.

    Consider the exchange rates given compared to the mid-market rate at the same moment given on xe.com, as well as any fees and costs, including the cost and convenience of reclaiming any unused foreign currency from your card. Rates given by FairFX are supposed to be slightly better than those of Caxton. Then there is overall reliability, and the availability and quality of help from customer services if there are any problems.
