Travellers from the UK spend more than £350m a year in charges when debit cards are used to withdraw cash in Europe alone. Caxton’s pre paid card provides the antidote to rip off fees and cheapest way to buy travel money – saving up to 10% of standard costs. This revolutionary spending method allows backpackers to pre-buy their spending money at the best exchange rate and avoid carrying large sums of money which is often wasted as unused cash. Prepaid spending methods are proving ever popular as they help to manage tight spending budgets - you know exactly how much you’re spending with this pre pay method.
Caxtonfx’s Sales and Marketing Director, James Hickman says ‘Our card offers stress-free, seamless spending overseas. We’re excited to offer considerable savings and security on gap year spending – an attractive prospect for parents whose offspring are heading off on a year abroad.” The prepaid MasterCard® is simply applied for online and loaded with up to £5000 worth of spending money, which is credited in Euros and ready for use as a normal debit card. It can be re-charged anywhere in the world, making it a safe and simple alternative to traditional spending methods.
