Travel cards
A Visa prepaid travel card is a
convenient and secure alternative to traveller’s cheques and
holiday cash.
Just like traveller’s cheques and cash, you can buy a Visa
prepaid travel card in a range of currencies – and set aside a
specific amount of money to spend on your holiday. Unlike other
alternatives, you can then use your Visa prepaid travel card at
tens of millions of shops worldwide and withdraw local currency
from more than 1.5 million ATMs.
Apart from offering more convenience, your prepaid travel card
also provides peace of mind. If your card is lost or stolen, the
remaining value can be blocked and refunded. Moreover, depending on
the issuer, emergency assistance will provide a replacement card or
cash wherever you are.
The benefits of a Visa prepaid travel card are clear:
- Easy – you can buy a travel card from a growing range of banks
or travel agencies and use it around the world
- Flexible – travel cards are generally available in a range of
currencies and denominations
- Secure – a travel card is completely separate from your bank
account and, if it’s lost or stolen, your money is protected.
