I have no hesitation in recommending the FairFX card as one of my best discoveries of the year

I have tried several prepaid cards in the past, but was disappointed when using them outside the UK. This was because from the time the other cards were topped up with funds, to the time that they were used, currency rates wildly fluctuated and it was impossible to keep track of what funds were actually available. Not so with the FairFX card, which is converted into Euros or Dollars immediately and the amount remains the same until it is used. Simple and effective.

Secondly, the exchange rate that I get when using FairFX card far exceeds the rate that I get when using other services. This can make a considerable difference to spending power over the length of a holiday or business trip.

I am also delighted with the mobile phone top-up facility and the clear account information that is available online. Debits and credits seem to appear almost immediately on the online statement. Perfect for keeping track of spending.

Finally, customer service is second to none. The response to questions is always courteous and prompt. I have no hesitation in recommending the FairFX card as one of my best discoveries of the year!
