The greater of 1.1% of the initial load / top up amount or AU$15.00. For example, for an agent charging a 1.1% initial load fee, if you purchase a Travelex Money Card and load AU$1,000, you would be charged.

AU$5.00
FREE** some ATM operators may charge their own fee or set their own limits.
- For example: If you have AU$ funds on your card and withdraw AU$500 from an ATM in Australia it will attract a fee of AU$14.75 (AU$500x2.95%). This will be charged at the time of withdrawal.
- Should you have insufficient funds in AU$ currency, we will convert the equivalent sum of the withdrawal and our domestic ATM withdrawal fee from your card fund to complete the transaction, and in addition you will also be charged the Currency Conversion Fee as set out below. Should you only have foreign currency (i.e. a currency other than AU$) available on your card, you will only be charged the Currency Conversion Fee.
2.95%
FREE
- Charged at the start of each month if you have not made any transactions on the card in the previous 12 months

- This is applied when you move your funds from one currency to another currency.
At the then applicable retail foreign exchange rate determined by us. We will notify you of the rate that will apply at the time you allocate your funds from one currency to another.
- Applied when a purchase or ATM withdrawal is conducted in a currency either not loaded or sufficient to complete the transaction and the cost is allocated against the currency/ies used to fund the transaction.
Mastercard® rate (“FX Rate”) plus a margin of 5.95% of the transaction value. The Mastercard rate is the exchange rate determined by Mastercard to be their wholesale rate or the government mandated rate in effect in the day the transaction is processed by Mastercard.
AU$1.34. Before the foreign exchange margin applies, this would equate to AU$67.00 (BRL50.00 x 1.34). After the foreign exchange margin of AU$3.99 is applied (AU$67.00 x 5.95%), this would equate to AU$70.99 (AU$67.00 + AU$3.99). Where you do not have a balance in the currency of the transaction, your Card Fund will be debited according to the default order of priority, which is as follows: AU$, US$, EU€, GB£, NZ$, TH฿, CA$, HK$, JP¥, SG$. In addition, we will debit the balance of each Currency in this order until the relevant transaction amount has been satisfied.
For example, suppose a purchase is made using your Card overseas for US$150.00, and you have the following Card Fund balances US$50, AU$0, EU€60, CA$100, then the following application of funds will take place:
Please refer to clause 10 of the Terms and Conditions for further details of how these margins apply.

Important information about allocation of funds across different currencies “currency to currency foreign exchange rate”:
If you allocate funds from one currency to another currency, or where we do so in accordance with the Terms and Conditions a foreign exchange conversion applies at the then applicable retail foreign exchange rate determined by us. We will notify you of the rate that will apply at the time you allocate your funds from one currency to another. Example of currency to currency foreign exchange rate for an allocation of funds to US$ from AU$: Suppose you wish to allocate AU$500 to US$ and the prevailing exchange rate, set by us, is AU$1 = US$1.09. This would equate to US$545.00 (AU$500 x 1.09). Please refer to clause 10 of the Terms and Conditions for full details of how these margins apply.
AU$, US$, EU€, GB£, NZ$, TH฿, CA$, HK$, JP¥, SG$.
