I chose the FairFx currency card as I was frequently irritated by the poor exchange rate offered by my own bank when withdrawing from ATMs abroad.

FairFx is a simple and cost-effective way of withdrawing your holiday spending money, safe in the knowledge that you are getting a favourable exchange rate.

My experiences of contacting FairFx have been entirely positive, with the provision of a speedy and efficient service and I have recommended these cards to all my friends and family.

With most people re-evaluating their more exuberant spending habits, we’d like to ask the question - Should everyone start taking solvency tips from students?

After all, students are right at the heart of receiving up-to-date financial health advice from experts like Martin Lewis or from finance-focused newspaper journalists.

A recent article to offer great money-saving tips is one that was published in the Times in August… and we’re really happy that one of the recommendations was the FairFX Travel Money Card!

The article highlighted that if students are taking a gap year before university, or if they’re planning on travelling during the holidays, a pre-paid card could be useful.

It confirmed that for travel in Europe and America, the Fair FX card offers one of the best deals. Click here to read the article in full.

The Daily Mail published an excellent article yesterday, highlighting that there is one entirely painless way to cut back on your holiday costs

They say that by simply avoiding credit and debit cards that charge rip-off fees when used abroad, and instead travelling with ones with lower or no fees, you could easily save enough to pay for a slap-up meal.

The article goes on to review credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards to find out which type of plastic offers the best value when it comes to travel money.

A great article on the website CreditChoices.co.uk today discussed whether or not you may be getting hidden travel money charges this Easter.

The article reviews different top debit and credit cards and it unveils some surprising charges that most people won’t be aware of... for instance, did you know that if you withdrew the equivalent of £100 cash with your Alliance and Leicester debit card when you’re abroad it will cost you £4.25?

Withdrawing the equivalent of £100 using an MBNA Europe Bank card costs a staggering £5.99.

Currency cards are now starting to make serious inroads into more conventional forms of travel money.

After last week’s article in the Evening Standard which confirmed that FairFX.com took on nearly 60 per cent more card customers in January month than December, ThisIsMoney, the online publication from the Daily Mail have highlighted that currency cards do not carry a foreign currency exchange rate fee, an extra levy of approximately 2.75% compared with the average credit or debit card.

The ThisISMoney article goes on to say that debt and credit cards may also have a similar till charge when paying in shops and restaurants, but there is no such charge with a currency exchange card.
