Travel Money
No, only the person that purchased the travel money is able to collect it. We will hold the currency in store for seven days to allow you to collect it on a day that is most convenient for you.
Some shops and ATMs abroad might give you the option to pay or withdraw cash in either the currency of the country you are visiting or in GBP Sterling. This is known as Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC). If you’re using a pre-paid card, you should always pick to pay in the currency that’s loaded on the card for the country you are in. Otherwise, you’ll incur additional charges from the retailer or ATM. We have no liability for these fees.
Yes, the card will automatically use the currency of the country you’re visiting. But, if you run out of funds in that currency, it will start to transfer funds across from the next currency with the greatest balance available. There is a 3% charge if this is done automatically. To avoid this charge we recommend that you always make sure you have enough of the correct currency to cover the purchase, or transfer money across from other balances via MyAccount where these transfers don’t incur a charge.
The transaction will still go through. The card will transfer currencies from the different balances into the correct currency to cover the cost of the purchase. There’s a 3% charge if this is done automatically. To avoid this charge, we recommend that you always have enough of the correct currency loaded onto your card, or transfer money across from other balances via MyAccount. The only time the transaction will decline is if there are insufficient funds.
