With many British citizens off to the World Cup in South Africa this summer, knowyourmoney.co.uk has written a great article to raise awareness of the things travellers should be thinking about when they organise their trip. For taking holiday money to the tournament, they recommend the FairFX card:


"The FairFX Currency Card - which allows £5,000 to be placed on it - has a 1.5% overseas transaction fee, making it the cheapest card to use in South Africa and an ideal choice for World Cup travellers. "

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."
