I had been considering a foreign currency card for some time and eventually settled on the FairFX card following a recommendation by Martin Lewis "Money Saving Expert".

Applying for the card was easy and the loading the card with Euros was simple. The exchange rate offered by FairFX also turned out to be one of the best around. I used the FairFX card for the first time in May whilst on holiday in Madeira.

It was great, not only was it easy to use, it was accepted everywhere. The card was also cheaper to use than normal Credit or Debit cards. I only paid, as promised, €1.50 for cash withdrawals and there was no charge whatsoever when I used the card in shops and restaurants.

Since coming home I have been recommending the FairFX card to all my friends, I have even said to them that they would be daft not to get one.
