I never have issues using curransea normally, however despite having more than enough money in my account it declined which was very bizarre, so I just changed accounts over which saved faffing about moving money and no more issues!

No hassle with this company. Even when I don't travel often, the card is there and ready to use and works flawlessly in any foreign atm machines that I've used. Saved me money on currency exchange too. Very impressed.

My trip to Norway using my Currensea card

Just came back from Norway and used my Currensea card everywhere I went. Always worked straight away on my Apple Pay and the notifications showing your transactions is very good. It even gives you a statement at the end of the day to see what you’ve spent showing the exchange rate and how much of yiur bank balance is left. 5 stars all the way. I always recommend to my friends and family.

No hassle no fuss, just use your card like you would at home no need for top ups or embarrassing moments when your card gets declined because you haven't transfer enough for the bill. Brilliant
