Euro card vs. multi-currency card
What is a euro card?
A euro card is a prepaid travel card pre-loaded with euros. It's specifically designed for spending in the eurozone, offering travellers the benefit of competitive rates and reduced foreign transaction fees within this region.
Advantages of a euro card:
- Simplicity: If your travels are centred in the eurozone, a euro card offers a straightforward spending solution.
- No foreign transaction fees: Enjoy fee-free spending within the Eurozone.
- Locked-in rates: Exchange your GBP for euros when the rate is favourable and lock it in.
What is a multi-currency card?
A multi-currency card, as the name suggests, allows you to load and spend in multiple currencies. It's the jack-of-all-trades in the world of travel cards, offering flexibility for those whose travel itineraries span multiple countries.
Advantages of a multi-currency card:
- Versatility: Ideal for travellers hopping between countries with different currencies.
- Multiple wallets: Keep several currencies loaded at once, ready for use.
- Cost-effective: Minimise currency conversion fees by spending in the local currency of your destination.
