The FairFX Family and Friends Prepaid MasterCard
Introducing the New Family and Friends Card from FairFX
The new Family and Friends Card is an easy way to give a FairFX card on your account to a family member or friend aged 14 or over. You load and manage the card from your existing login, giving you control and flexibility dealing with your family member or friend's holiday money. To order a new Family and Friends Card, go to the Card tab on your account page here.
How do the cards work?
The card works a bit differently to your normal FairFX card: to add funds to the card, you move them from an existing card rather than through a top-up. Both cards do have to be in the same currency, but if you have multiple cards in the same currency you can use any of them. You can also move funds back from your Family and Friends Card to any of the other cards you have, just as long as they are in the same currency.Please note: Family and Friends cards cannot be used to share funds in India
The card will have the cardholders name on it, rather than the account holders name, and will be delivered to the account holder's address.
The Family and Friends Cards are £6 each. Like standard FairFX cards, they are valid for 2 years from when they are issued.
Things to remember...
- Before you can order a Family and Friends Card, you must already have a standard FairFX card in that currency. For example, you cannot order a Family and Friends Card in Dollars if you only have a Euro card.
- When you enter the cardholders details, they will receive an email to confirm that they are 14 or over and choose their password, so make sure that you give an accurate email in the order process.
- The Family and Friends Card will arrive with no balance on it, unlike a standard FairFX card.
- The Family and Friends Card holder does have to be 14 or over.
- The Family and Friends Card is to be used by the named cardholder only.
- The Family and Friends Card cannot be used to share funds in India.
