  • How do I top up my card using the app?

    To top up your card go to the Card Details page of the card you wish to top up (this page can be accessed through the Account Details page by clicking on the details button for the card).

    Click the Top Up Card button to go to the Top Up page. Here you can view the current exchange rate (if your card is a Euro Currency Card or a US Dollar Currency Card, this is the same exchange rate as you get topping up using our website) and enter the amount you wish to top up (minimum load value applies).

    Once you've entered the value you wish to top up, you will be taken to a Realex page where you will need to enter your payment card details. Please be aware that we can only accept payments by Debit or Credit Card and the card you use to top up must be registered to the same address that your my Travel Cash Card is registered to. (Please note that as with our website topping up using a credit card incurs a 2.5% fee. When you top up using the app with a credit card this will be taken from the amount that you are topping up with, rather than added as an extra fee, therefore the value of the amount you select to top up with will be reduced).

    Once your top up has been confirmed your card balance should be updated within a few hours.

  • When topping up using the app it takes me to a page to enter my payment details that does not look like my Travel Cash, is this supposed to happen?

    Yes, when you top up using the app your payment will processed by our online payment provider Realex. This will not impact your top up in anyway.

  • Why is the amount that was topped up onto my card after topping up using the app lower than the amount I had selected to top up?

    When you top up using the app with a Credit Card rather than Debit Card the 2.5% fee for using a Credit Card is deducted from the value you have chosen to top up with. This is different to topping up with a Credit Card using our website where this fee is added as an extra fee. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

  • How do I access the help menu?

    You can access the Help Menu page wherever you see the question mark button. From the Help Menu page you can find out more about my Travel Cash, contact us, read the Mobile App FAQs or view the Terms of Use for the my Travel Cash Mobile App.

    To do this you will need to log in to the my Travel Cash Mobile App and go to the Card Details page for the card you wish to remove.
