Anyone recommend me one that will allow you to top up with cast from say a whole in the wall or a travel exchange counter or say a pay point
Also that allows international transaction worldwide?
Thanks

Can I ask why does it have to be a top up card and not a debit card from a bank account?

Have you had a look at the PaysafeCard account? You can top it up at PayPoint locations, as well as supermarkets, and then spend from the PaysafeCard Mastercard. There's a £24,000 annual spend limit on the card, but this could potentially be an option for you?

I dont quite understand your question!retiredbanker1 said:Can I ask why does it have to be a top up card and not a debit card from a bank account?
I mean it can be any type of card really; visa, American express est, so long as I can add money to it in the form of cash. So I can then use the card in shops and online and even withdraw from a hole in a wall half way round the world0 -
Thanks for the link! 4th down on that page is "FairFX". I have spoken to them and they have scoffed at me about topping it up with cash and not having a bank accountxylophone said:1 -
Edit! so I wonder if the rest of them are all cut form the same cloth?GringoGoesToVagas said:

You ask about pre loaded debit cards - and you have received a few replies about them .GringoGoesToVagas said:

A debit card from a bank would do the same thing - especially if you wanted to pay cash via an ATM Post office or a Branch.
