Revolut for me load as much as you want instantly via the app from your bank account. Probably the best rate that's available. Used it in Europe as well.

Thanks everuone who replied. It looks like it'll be either Cacton, Fairfx or revolut - I'll go check their small print and see which suits us best

I use Revolut which gives you the inter bank rate e.g GBP - USD is currently $1.2895

The only negative of the Revolut card is the £200 ATM withdraw limit per month before they start charging you 2% fee thereafter.

We have also gone with the Revolut card. Best dollar rate available and highly recommended on Moneysavingexpert.com

I used Revolut for the first time last month in Florida. Easy to use, handy app, I recommend!

Will be using again for sure!

I've just received my Monzo Card (prepaid mastercard), it has a nice app, you load up in pounds and doesn't charge any fees for use abroad in ATMs or card transactions.
There can be a waiting list but on money saving expert theres a link to jump to the front of the queue if you search for prepaid travel cards

I have used my Caxton card for the last two years, the app updated straight away with the balance and could transfer cash using the app as well.

I did have an issue as the card in LA last year due to a tech difficulty I could not take cash out or use in a shop I did ring up and informed it was a technical error with there USA bank and not to worry, it was resolved within 1/2 day just my luck it was my shopping day, but received an email when it had been resolved, so customer service got my vote as well, for something that wasn't really there fault.
