Currency cards - a better way to manage your travel money
Opodo and FairFX have teamed up to offer customers a free* FairFX Prepaid MasterCard® (usually £9.95).
FairFX currency cards are a new, smarter way to spend travel money abroad. Simply pre-load US dollars or euros onto your FairFX card and then use it like a debit card at shops, restaurants and other outlets, or to withdraw money at cashpoints.
The FairFX currency card provides business rates of foreign exchange, saving you up to 10%** on inferior rates at airports, bureaux de change or banks. Cards are Chip/PIN protected for your security.
