FairFX launch new currency card

Commenting on the launch of FairFX’s new currency card, Rob Kenley, head of credit cards at moneysupermarket.com, said: "This card is good with its competitive exchange rate if you are going to spend big bucks. If that is the case, make sure you put at least £500 on it or you’ll be charged a £9.95 fee.

"It's fine to use in shops, but don't use it at ATMs because it attracts a £1 fee. A much better bet for cash withdrawals is the Nationwide debit card which doesn’t charge a fee."
