Multi Currency Cards

Hello :)

So I am new to this experience so be kind.

I am going travelling round South East Asia and India soon and I have been overwhelmed by the different types of currency cards. After watching the show the other night a few brands were recommended....ie Revolut, We Swap and FairFX. I am basically looking for recommendations/reviews on experience people have had with either the above or other cards.

Any help is appreciated

  • Hey, I have used FAIRFX for pretty much all my currency buying in cash for previous holidays as they always beat on ex rate. Going to be travelling around this year so got a multi currency card from them, works perfectly. They also have an app that you can check the balance on, and load more from your debit card quickly. Suits my needs, and the flat rate is so much cheaper than using your credit/debit cards by around 1.5% on the transaction.
    Hope that helps

    There are several threads about what people are using. See the one below about Monzo, and those on the Flights, Currency sub-board, prepaid cards etc.
