Prepaid currency cards are safer than carrying cash, give holidaymakers better exchange rates and are cheaper than using a debit or credit card abroad.
Prepaid currency cards look just like a credit or debit card and allow you to preload money from your bank account on to the card, fixed at that day's exchange rate. With a prepaid card, you get the rate on the day you convert your cash. You can top up and check your balance online or by phone.
The Caxton Currency Card consistently gives better rates than those at airport and other bureau de changes outlets and does not add a surcharge when using the card to make a purchase abroad.
We at Puglia Holiday Rentals regularly use the Caxton FX Currency Card and have never experienced any problems. The exchange rate is competitive and the money is available instantly. So if you are getting poor exchange rates or being charged additional fees for using the cards can honestly recommend this service to anyone who is getting poor exchange rates by banks or surcharges for using your bank cards abroad.
