Why Tell Banks Your Travel Plans?
Commenting on bank customers being asked to disclose travel plans to cut fraud, Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX.com, said: “There is no doubt any measures holidaymakers can take to reduce fraud are a good idea. Indeed, it is sound advice for all Brits planning to use credit cards abroad to alert providers before travelling to avoid cards being declined.
“However, time poor travellers who want to avoid the inconvenience of ringing their card provider each time they go abroad should consider using a prepaid currency card such as the FairFX.com Currency Card instead. The FairFX.com card is designed specifically for use abroad so people do not have to alert us when they travel.
“The FairFX.com card is also a safe way to spend abroad - the chip and PIN technology makes it much harder for fraudsters to clone cards and the fact it is prepaid, with no credit facility beyond that which is loaded onto the card, means potential losses are limited. The card is particularly useful for people planning to go to the States where chip and PIN hasn’t been introduced and fraud is much more prevalent.
“As well as being the most convenient option and offering superior fraud protection, the FairFX.com card also offers people the best bang for their buck. FairFX.com is currently offering €1.0825 to £1, and $1.4775 to £1 for every £200 exchanged, beating most other providers hands down.”
