The money advice website Money Magpie have published a really useful article offering help for those travelling to South Africa for the world cup, or indeed just on a tourist break. In it they recommend the FairFX Anywhere Card as an ideal way of spending your cash over there to avoid losing money on high exchange rates:
"Of all the prepaid cards, (the FairFX card) has the smallest transaction fee – just 1.5%. There are no other charges with the card, with the exception of paying to buy it initially.... If we were taking a prepaid card to South Africa, this would be the one we’d go for."

An interesting article was published in the Times on Thursday which highlighted the fact that although many Britons were “seriously considering” leaving the country to avoid the economic slowdown, many expat Brits are also struggling.
It also be argued that this is one of the worst times to leave Britain, as in 2000 the UK pound sterling was worth around €1.70, with the rate today being closer to €1.10.
Instead, Brits are being advised to consider maximising their present assets by ensuring that they maximise the value of their sterling if they do intend to travel.
Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX was quoted as saying: “Many UK high street banks offer poor exchange rates - anything up to 1 per cent more than the wholesale cost. It is vital that anyone who intends to make money transfers overseas shops around to obtain the best exchange rate.”

Most importantly you will get an exceptional exchange rate - much better than at normal banks.
