Why Should You Use A Euro Currency Card In Countries Like Egypt And Turkey?

According to Stephen Heath, FairFX Chief Executive, people travelling to Egypt and Turkey are less knowledgeable about their currencies compared with the euro or dollar.

An article on Skyscanner confirmed that the varying exchange rates meant that many people left their travel currency "to the very last minute".

However, with the British pound sterling weakening at the moment, that could be a mistake. With FairFX, people are able to lock-in the value of the euro at the time of purchase on their currency cards. Then, if people use their FairFX euro currency card in countries like Egypt and Turkey where other currencies are used, your currency is dynamically converted to the local currency at no extra charge from FairFX.

That’s significant – FairFX do not charge you when you use your currency card in a country that doesn’t use the currency card currency, making the FairFX card the ideal global traveller card.
