The security of travellers cheques with the convenience of plastic
The new Post Office® Travel Money Card is the secure, convenient way to carry foreign currency. Just load your card with the amount you need and you can then use it at millions of outlets displaying the Visa Electron sign and cash machines worldwide, wherever the Visa symbol is displayed.
Extra peace of mind
Unlike debit or credit cards, you can only spend what you have loaded onto the card, which means there’ll be no unwelcome bank statements or bills when you get home. Also, if your card is ever lost or stolen, we can give you a new card and refund the balance. The card isn't linked to your bank account, so that remains completely safe too.
Choose your card to carry euros, Dollars or Sterling
TYou can purchase a card in euros, US Dollars or Sterling. You can have one of each if you're travelling in different countries. Simply load your card with your chosen currency at a Post Office® branch or over the phone and you’ll be ready to take it away and spend as you please.
Get holiday cash and pay for things
You can withdraw up to £500 a day (or equivalent amount in US Dollars or euros) from cash machines displaying the Visa sign. And you can use your card to pay for goods and services at over 13 million outlets worldwide, wherever you see the Visa Electron sign**. If the local currency is the same as the currency on your card, you won't pay any charges when using the card to pay for things in shops and restaurants.
Check your balance
You can also check your balance when at home or abroad with our telephone balance checking service. We’ll also give you a handy balance book to help you keep track of your spending while you're away.
Top up your card
After loading an initial amount of £250, you can top up your card with a minimum of £50, any time you like, by cash, cheque, debit or credit card. And you can do it with a quick phone call or clicking on our website from anywhere in the world. You can also top up in person at any participating Post Office® branch.
If your card is lost or stolen
Call our 24 hour helpline immediately to stop your card and order a replacement card, and providing you have taken due care we will also replace your balance. We can courier it directly to your holiday destination (delivery charges apply) or post it free of charge to your home address.
How to get your Travel Money Card
There is a one-off fee of £10 when you buy a card. You can have up to three cards (one in Sterling, one in US Dollars and one in euros). If you apply online for a Travel Money Card the card should be with you within 5 working days.
