What happens if I have chosen to pay by standard bank transfer?

You are welcome to pay by standard bank transfer, but the process will take longer and unfortunately we cannot guarantee the exact exchange rate until we receive your payment. After confirming your order we will show you the total amount to pay in Pounds, and the details of the bank account into which to pay this amount. As we cannot be sure when we will receive the payment, we will complete the transaction and apply the exchange rate on the day we receive your payment. The exact amount of currency loaded on to your card may therefore vary due to exchange rate changes, but we will always apply our standard competitive rate available on our website at the time. We will send you an email confirming all the purchase details after we receive your payment.

 

When will I get my card?

• For Standard Delivery: Normally 5-10 working days. We print your name on the card and send it in Royal Mail second class post.

When using the my Travel Cash Card abroad what should I do if I'm asked if I want to pay in GB Pounds?
