FAIRFX.COM AND MATALAN FORM PRICE BUSTING PARTNERSHIP

FairFX.com and Matalan have partnered up to offer a free FairFX.com currency card - normally costing £9.95 for a three year membership – to Matalan cardholders. This exclusive offer can be applied for online via www.matalan.co.uk and is available until 31st October 2008

Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX.com, said: “This is a natural partnership for FairFX.com and Matalan. We both share the same commitment to helping our customers get the best bang for their buck, be it on holiday or in the shops. The FairFX.com currency card provides cheap, secure access to cash worldwide and could save people up to €8 or $15 per £100 spent.

“FairFX has seen a rapid expansion since its launch in December 2007 and our partnership with Matalan is the latest step in this development. We plan to continue building the business with further strategic partnerships and significant investment within the company, amongst other drives. Partnerships with brands with a similar ethos to FairFX.com, such as Matalan, make sense as we look to build our customer base further.”

Adam Day, Promotions Manager at Matalan, said: “Being a family oriented retailer we love to deliver our cardholders great value whether that’s instore or through our Reward Card partners. Partnering with FairFX.com is a way we can guarantee cardholders great value when changing currency – something which can prove costly if you leave till the last minute – as well as the added security that a pre-paid card brings!”

How does the FairFX card work? The FairFX Currency Card is a MasterCard chip and pin enabled prepaid debit card. It differs from regular debit cards in two ways. Firstly, the cards are issued in either Euros or US dollars and secondly, funds must be loaded onto the card before they are available to spend. The currency to be loaded is obtained simply by logging on to www.fairfx.com and can be paid for by any sterling debit or credit card or internet bank transfer.
