We've just launched a new service - top up your FairFX Currency Card via SMS/Text message.

More information about the new service has been featured on the website 'Easier finance'.

In the article Stephen Heath our Chief Executive said: "Now, wherever people are in the world they can find out how much cash they have left to spend, check the exchange rate they will get for their Pounds, and top-up their holiday money simply by texting. This is the easiest way for people to manage their money abroad, and until August 31st the service will be free of charge. After then each text will cost 10p.

"According to research from FairFX.com, nearly half (48 per cent) of Brits who use credit and debit cards abroad make cash withdrawals from foreign ATMs. However, holidaymakers could save themselves a bundle by texting a top-up to their FairFX.com card and using that instead of taking out cash on their usual credit or debt card.

"The system development to allow top-ups and balance enquiries via text comes as FairFX.com continues its rapid expansion. Since launching in December 2007 FairFX.com has also formed partnership with moneysupermarket.com and Matalan to supply free cards to applicants via those sites. We plan to continue building the business with further product developments, strategic partnerships and significant investment within the company, amongst other drives."
