What is Cash Passport Globe?
Cash Passport Globe is a MasterCard® prepaid card designed to save you money on your overseas spending. The card can be loaded with British Pounds which are then converted to the local currency when you use it abroad. With just one flat usage fee of 1.49% when used abroad and no Travelex exchange rate mark up* (99p for transactions in British Pounds), it is typically more cost-effective than using a credit or debit card abroad, saving you on average around £1.50 per transaction**. It’s the perfect card for savvy travellers.
You can use Cash Passport Globe anywhere in the world where you see a MasterCard® Acceptance Mark, so whether you’re travelling on business in Hong Kong, cruising around the Greek Islands or sipping a cappuccino on via Condotti in Rome, Cash Passport Globe is the safe and simple solution for all your travel money needs.
The Cash passport Globe is now FREE (usually £29.99) so start saving and get yours now.
*Merchant transactions and ATM withdrawals in a currency other than British Pounds will be exchanged to the requisite currency at an exchange rate determined by MasterCard on the day the transaction is processed.
