Hit the slopes without hitting your wallet

FairFX.com is offering members of the Ski Club of Great Britain the opportunity to apply for a free FairFX.com currency card - normally costing £9.95 for a three year membership. This offer can be applied for online via skiclub.co.uk.

Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX.com, said: "Brits keen to hit the slopes despite the credit crunch should ensure their Euros take them further with FairFX.com and The Ski Club of Great Britain. The FairFX.com currency card provides good value, secure access to cash worldwide and could save people up to €10 per £100 spent, and in the current climate every penny counts.

"FairFX.com's partnership with The Ski Club of Great Britain is the latest partnership with brands of the shared ideology of ensuring customers get the best bang for their buck, and follows collaborations with moneysupermarket.com and Matalan. FairFX.com has seen a rapid expansion since its launch in December 2007 and we plan to continue building the business with further strategic partnerships and significant investment within the company, amongst other drives."

How does the FairFX card work?

The FairFX Currency Card is a MasterCard chip and pin enabled prepaid debit card. It differs from regular debit cards in two ways. Firstly, the cards are issued in either Euros or US dollars and secondly, funds must be loaded onto the card before they are available to spend. The currency to be loaded is obtained simply by logging on to fairfx.com and can be paid for by any sterling debit or credit card or internet bank transfer.
