What travel card do you use when you go abroad?

Which ones are the best?

Currently use the post office travel card, just looked at their euro exchange rate and it's pretty crap!!

Looking for ideas.

Don't bother going abroad, there's wars and things going on out there. Skegness is much nicer.

In the west.

I use a Starling card. It's all online. You open a Sterling account then either a Euro or USD. It's very easy to use and you can add it to Google Pay.

Never have. Just use my Nationwide and get the exchange rate at the time, commission and fee free.

"Revolut"

I use Revolut all the time, it’s so easy for transferring and exchanging currencies, paying people, etc and I also use mine for stocks and crypto too, it’s a great card and service.

I also have a Ramsdens card. I've had it for years and they give you the best exchange rate for cash here.

We use one from TUI. It's a Mastercard you load with currency and can reload via their app. Very easy to use and never had any problems.

Seems Starling is a front runner?

It’s easy to use, app based. Have a hard card and can be linked to Apple Pay, along with a virtual one use card. No fees for changing money to different currencies, easy to flip between the different ones. It’s not linked to your bank account, you control how much to add and when. Quick & simple to cancel / report lost with instant freezing, before doing so you can transfer your money out to your bank account through the app. Transfer money to others. There is crypto currency to, but I haven’t ventured there.
