It's always nice to see customers telling their friends about the benefits of the FairFX Currency Card!

Jojo shared that it only costs 1.50 Euros to withdraw cash from an ATM in the Eurozone using the card.

She also posted a link where you can get the FairFX Card free-of-charge subject to a minimum load of just 10 Euros or $20.

Thanks Jo - would you like a job in our marketing team? :)

A quick mention from The Times yesterday reminded everyone that there aren't any monthly fees with the FairFX Currency Card.

That means that if you take just one trip a year, the FairFX Card is still an essential travelling companion!

As highlighted in an article in the Mirror today, around 30% of us don't buy our foreign currency before travelling abroad.

That means that they could be receiving up to 11% less when exchanging their UK Pounds Sterling.

Major newspapers are now picking up on the fact that a pre-paid currency card may well be the best way to take holiday spending money abroad.

In an article in today's Guardian they say that 'pre-paid can be a fantastic form of plasic'.

Our chief executive Stephen Heath discusses how he feels about consumers being told that they are receiving 0% commission...

"They think it means they are not paying for their foreign currency when, in fact, they are through the exchange rate they are given. Companies make their money from the difference between the market rate they pay for the currency and how much they sell it on to consumers. By dealing in volume, over the internet, we can keep our margins very narrow and give people more euros or dollars for their pounds."
