A travel money card is a global currency card that allows you to load several foreign currencies into a personal account at a prevailing exchange rate. Like debit and credit cards, a travel money card can be used to make purchases in stores, online, and to withdraw cash at ATMs while travelling. You can buy currencies and add or reload them into your travel money card account via a mobile app whilst abroad. One of the best ways to use the Travelex Money Card is with the Travelex Money App. The Travelex Money App makes ordering, transferring, and checking currencies quick and simple on your travel card. You can also use the Travelex travel exchange rate tracker to check currencies in real time. You can order a travel money card online or purchase one directly from a Travelex store. Find a store near you.
- Order Online: Travel cards can be ordered online and picked up in-store the next day if paid by debit/credit card.
- In-Store Pickup: Visit a store to purchase and load your card on the spot. It will be active and ready for use immediately. We will automatically transfer funds between currencies for your transactions.
- Home Delivery: If you prefer delivery, expect your travel card within 5-7 business days from when payment is received.
- Activation: Travelex travel cards ordered online for in-store pickup or purchased directly in-store do not require activation.
The Travelex Money Card is a Mastercard travel card, meaning it is free to make international withdrawals at ATMs displaying the Mastercard acceptance mark. It is also free to obtain cash over the counter and to make online purchases with a travel money card. However, some ATM operators may charge their own withdrawal ATM fees. Be sure to check with the ATM in question prior to making cash withdrawals.
Similar to any bank account, you can withdraw money from your travel money card at ATMs worldwide. When withdrawing cash, select the “credit” option on the ATM machine screen to access funds. You will not be charged credit card fees by selecting this option. If the “credit” option does not work, try selecting “debit” or “savings”. The maximum withdrawal amount is 3,000 Australian dollars each 24 hour period. Bear in mind that some ATMs may also have their own ATM fee, adding a cost to your withdrawal.
The Travelex Money Card is a multi currency card that can be used in most countries around the world. Widely considered the best travel money card for overseas travel, the Travelex Money Card can be used in the US, Europe, Japan, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, and many more countries.
Plus, if your preferred currency cannot be directly loaded onto the card, you can still load AUD and use it as a secure alternative to cash.
Learn more about our special offer for AUD loads and how you can save in certain countries.
Travelex stores abroad cannot provide balance enquiries or offer cash-out as they do not have access to your Australian issued Travelex Money Card details.
- For balance enquires, you can check it on the Travelex Money App or call us on 1800 440 039.
- Cash-out may be offered in local shops that provide this service.

- If you print statements from the internet, keep them safe and shred them when you've finished using them
