Good to use in Australia and Thailand. Now need it for Mexico except the card doesn't do Peso. I am disappointed as I have to make alternative arrangements.

We were unable to use our cards in Japan. We tried in different ATM and in stores but it was refused every time.
We were very fortunate to have a Visa card that worked every time or we would have had a huge issue paying for everything.

I have had a few problems trying to put money onto my card which is a worry for me. I have had to ring your help line and the first man was very helpful, also the second time I spoke to a lady up in Scotland and she too was extremely helpful and both were able to help rectify the problem. I have since put money in ok but yesterday the card would not take my money even though my Bank had verified everything. I was at my wits end, thinking I would have to ring again as your message kept saying there was a problem at your end when it suddenly showed as having been successfully concluded. I am hoping this doesn’t keep happening and that when I get abroad I don’t have any further problems.

Convenient, all currency on one card.

This was my second card, which i got for my wife. Its so convenient and means you only need to take one card out in foreign countries and load it up with smaller amounts for security if it gets stolen.

Sounds like a great idea until you go to pay for shopping in another country and the card is declined because not enough funds. no problem you think, I will top it up and be on my way. No you won't because it's now locked for 24 hours and they can't unlock it until after the 24 hours. When I did speak to someone after the 24 hours she was absolutely brilliant and sorted it instantly, even telling me to delete the app and start again.

App doesn’t always work

The FX card arrived quickly post order being placed and transactions updated swiftly on the app meaning the balance was easy to track, however I found the app didn’t always work in US which was incredibly stressful at times in terms of managing my balance and ability to top up.

Poor service. Needs updating

I’ve been using my card for the last few years. I have found it very useful. It’s easy to top up on the app and really easy to change currencies if you’re travelling through more than one country. However, just these last few weeks, I have had a series of problems that have shown weaknesses in the system.

My card had apparently run out. I didn’t know because I never received a notification, like an email, for example. My new card had been sent to my old address, again with no notification that it was happening. I didn’t even know my card was linked to an address. There is nowhere in the app showing an address. Apparently, the only way to change the address is to contact the Post Office directly. I was away when I discovered all this, expecting to be able to use my card. There was nothing they could do to help me.

They told me they would send a new card to my home address within 2/3 days. When I got home a week later, there was no card. I contacted them again and they said they would send another one. Two days later, a card arrived. Yesterday, another card arrived.

It’s a substandard service. Typical of the reputation the Post Office has these days for not being able to get things done efficiently.

Appalling Customer Service

Had a travel card with approx 150 euros scammed in Dubai. At first Post Office was helpful and notified me about stolen funds. However, trying to recover the monies and corresponding via emails and multiple telephone calls, I have to report how unprofessional and inept the customer service department is. Every single phone call and email was dealt with by a different contact every single time. Nobody followed up and actually dealt with my queries. The matter was pushed around with no one resolving the matter. Very poor customer service.Eventually it was resolved, they refunded the money back but in Dubai currency !! After more chasing by myself it eventually was returned in sterling. I have now closed my account and requested my data be removed from their system.
