Caxton FX’s Global Traveller ideal choice for gap year students

The summer exams are over and the start of the gap year is here. Many students are planning long trips overseas, often away from home for the first time. Access to money and top-up of funds while away is essential.

The Caxton FX Global Traveller card is the only prepaid currency card on the market that does not charge customers cash withdrawal fees when they are abroad. It also offers bank-beating exchange rates. Caxton's card combines the convenience of a debit card with the security of travellers' cheques and peace of mind for parents who can top up the card remotely, free of charge.

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 prepaid 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 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.

Caxton FX Managing 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 card is simply applied for online and can be loaded with up to £5000 worth of spending money. It can be re-charged anywhere in the world, making it a safe and simple alternative to traditional spending methods.
