Fairfx or revolut

[xXxSammi88xXx]

Used a fairfx card the previous times which has been great. But i noticed the revolut card gives a better rate. Which one does everyone else use?

I have previously used Monzo abroad, and will be taking it to Florida.

At the moment Fairfx are giving $1.36 so I have put some money onto that card but I am also thinking about opening an account with Starling Bank. I have seen a few threads on here about it and the fact that it is also back by fscs.

Same thing with Monzo now too, it's no longer the prepaid card that it used to be, now a fully fledged bank account with fscs protection, and the benefits of no fees FX, though they have recently introduced a small fee for ATM withdrawls.

Didn't realize that about Monzo, must go and have a look at that one. Thanks

We used a Revolut in Florida 2016 with no problems and used it in Lanzarote this summer with no issues too. So will use that this summer along with a little bit of cash and a Halifax clarity card.

Would recommend Monzo

Never heard of Monzo,off to have a look

We are taking 3 types of card, a Revolt card which we can pre load, a Monzo card which is linked to a Monzo bank account which is like using a Visa debit card with great exchange rates and our trusty Halifax Clarity card.
Oh and a bit of cash.
