You can pay in any currency preloaded on your Travelex Money Card. Google Pay will automatically select the correct currency when currency type/funds are available. The process is identical to the physical card. If the correct currency funds are not available, then payment will be taken in priority order from your Travel Money Card to fund the spend. Additional charges may be incurred if this happens, see full details on fees and limits.
