Going to Europe or the USA? Get free Currency cards
Tired of the hassle involved with exchanging travel money? Want a solution that’s as easy as having cash?
Most of us exchange our travel money at the last minute, either on the high street, at the airport in the UK or by using a bank card at cash machines when we reach our destination.
If you have the time to exchange money on the high street, it can be expensive and you’ll probably have to queue. Worst of all, if you lose your cash or it’s stolen, you probably won’t get it back.
Our free Cashplus currency cards* are the answer. Once you’ve set up a Cashplus prepaid Gold MasterCard® account you can order your Euro and US Dollar cards for:
- No commissions
- Excellent exchange rates
- No € or US Dollar purchase transaction fees♦
- No monthly fees for currency cards
- No ATM fees♦
And unlike with cash, if you lose your card your money is safe – we’ll replace the card and the money on it, as long as you use your card in line with our terms and conditions.

Travel money simplified – your questions answered
- What if I prefer using cash?
Once you’re abroad just withdraw money from any cash machine that displays the MasterCard acceptance mark. There are no purchase fees or monthly fees for the currency card. And unlike cash, if your card’s lost or stolen we can replace the card and the money on it as long as you’ve used your card in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
- What do I do with any money left on my currency card at the end of my trip?
At the end of your travels either leave your Euros or US Dollars on your currency card’s account so that it’s ready for your next trip, or simply transfer the currency back into your Cashplus prepaid Gold MasterCard’s Sterling account in the Members’ Area.
