Things to watch out for
It's important to remember that there are a few things that your card is not built for.

What do I do if I am already an MCP customer?
On 3rd April 2017, Travelex changed the prepaid card offerings made available to customers.
Previously online we had 3 Cash Passport prepaid products you could buy, The Multi-currency Cash Passport Card, where you could load up to 10 currencies, the Globe Card in pounds and the single currency Cash Passport.
We've simplified our prepaid card offering from the three different cards previously available, by upgrading to the Travelex Money Card: a Platinum card with added features and benefits. Now you can choose to buy and load into the full 10 currencies available, including pounds.
Your Multi-currency/Single currency/Globe card is still valid for use until the date of expiry. You can still reload it here and use it until it expires.
If you choose to buy a Travelex Money Card and already have an existing Cash Passport card, you will need to transfer the balance on your Cash Passport card to your new Travelex Money Card within 30 days of the purchase of the Travelex Money Card.
However, if you don't wish to purchase the Travelex Money Card, you can still use your existing Cash Passport card. Please note, we are no longer selling new Cash Passports.
