PayPal Top up card helps holidaymakers control spending

With the August bank holiday just around the corner, thousands of Brits will be heading off to make the most of the long weekend.

However, whether soaking up the sun on the continent or taking a trip closer to home people should consider using a prepaid Card to keep their holiday spending safe and under control, according to PayPal.

The new PayPal Top-Up Card is one of the most competitive Cards in the market, costing just £4.95 to get started. Using the PayPal Top Up Card is also convenient and practical and there are multiple ways you can top the Card up with money .

Carl Scheible, Managing Director of PayPal UK commented, "In the current economic climate Brits may be looking for ways to be smarter with their holiday spending. The new PayPal Top Up Card allows people to do just that. By loading up a set amount of money people can ensure that they stick to a tight budget for the duration of their holiday; avoiding the headache of a huge credit Card bill when they return.

"A pre-loaded Card is also safer and more convenient than carrying holiday cash or travellers cheques. The Card will be protected by Chip and PIN and if the Card is lost, funds are secure, where a loss of cash is not."
