A new way for you to carry and manage your travel money
Looking for a way to carry your travel money safely? That's more convenient than using traveller's cheques? And that keeps your travel funds separate from all your other money?
MasterCard has the answer for you: prepaid travel cards.
Prepaid travel cards offer you an easier way to handle the money you set aside for travel. The cards are available to anyone: you will usually need ID and address documents when you purchase a card, but that's all. Unlike travellers' cheques, you don't need your passport when you get your money, and you can reload your card as you travel.
Plus, if your card is lost or stolen, it's not at all like losing cash. Most travel card issuers will provide you with an emergency card, or emergency cash, whilst you are travelling. And you can use your prepaid card to withdraw cash worldwide, from any ATM that displays the same Brand Mark that's shown on your card.
