HSBC Global Money Account

Miles86

Seems there's a new travel money card from HSBC. Lists no fees for holding, topping up, spending or withdrawing cash. States that you can get an instant Google or Apple Pay card, and a physical card delivered.

I don't have much knowledge of this type of product, so is be interested to hear others views?

Thanks

Appears to use the Visa daily rate for card transactions in a currency not held (or not sufficient) in the account, however for converting currencies within the account an undefined margin is added to (presumably) the interbank rate.
