FairFx card

I don't use their card but I often get my cash from them, in fact I ordered a load of dollars from them about 30 mins ago! :D
I've heard they are ok, but I prefer to use cash to be honest

Cheers,

Hi skyegal,
FairFX do not have the option of having two cards on one account, however, CaxtonFX do. I've recently got two dollar cards from them linked into the same account. You have to pay a £5 fee to get the additional card (but it means there's less hassle). Their exchange rates aren't quite as good as FairFX, but they have no usage fees when you're abroad (whereas FairFX do), but in the US you're still likely to have to pay a cash withdrawal fee which is imposed by the owner of the cash machine (in effect you get charged twice with FairFX, once by them and once by the cash machine owner).
Hope this helps.

Thanks for that info PE - will have a look at the CaxtonFX. Sounds just what we need. Cheers
