Prepaid cards

[Cinq]

We have used Caxton on our last couple of trips and and had no problems with it, would recommend, planning to use it on our next trip.

Another starling user here. Its security features are brilliant, you can turn various features or the whole card off in the app, you get instant notification of spends via txt.

Its got the best exchange rates going at the mastercard exchange rate and with zero fees too. as its a UK registered bank you also get interest on anything on it and are fully protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) so if the bank went bust you are covered upto £85k prepaid cards don't offer this protection, you will prob be offered a overdraft too which might come in handy for any emergencies out there that you haven't saved for.

Infact I switched to use it as my main bank account a few moths ago

I use Caxton and Starling. Have previously been quite happy with using prepaid cards, but recent Travelex problems have made me think carefully about it.

I guess it can happen to anyine. Individual or company.

But must be a challenge to manage it as a customer when overseas.

We always use post office money card. Never had a problem with it. And if anyone is interested there's a flash sale on until Friday.

Starling is a current account not a prepaid cash card, they are 2 completely different things, not what the OP was asking about.

Another vote for Revolut here!

We used it for the first time when we went to Orlando last September, had absolutely no issues and found it so easy to use. Have even used it since getting home and will use it when we go away this year

It's Fair Fx for us. Only issue we have had was not being able to use them in Target.

I use revolut. Can transfer money from your bank to them instantly on their app. Really easy to use!
