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.

The FairFX Anywhere Card is the latest addition to the FairFX Prepaid MasterCard® family. Just as the name suggests, use it anywhere - in any country, in any currency and with any vendor displaying the MasterCard® acceptance mark!
It's essentially a FairFX Prepaid MasterCard® in Pounds Sterling, with funds being converted to the appropriate currency at the point of sale. Unlike some of our competitors, we don't mark up the prevailing interbank exchange rate!
