Travel money card

A travel money card, also called a foreign currency card or a prepaid card, lets you keep and spend in multiple currencies when you travel.

Revolut is so much more than just a travel card. We make it easy to manage your money while you travel. You can use your Revolut card to spend in 150+ currencies globally.

Join us and use one app to manage all things money, even when you’re on the move. It’s that simple.

Travel money cards let you prepay or load money and pay in a range of currencies.

You can pay in 150+ currencies with Revolut, just like you would with a travel money card.

You don't need to keep that local currency in your Revolut account to spend with it. When you shop or withdraw cash from an ATM while you're abroad, just use your card and we’ll handle the conversion for you.

There's no limit to the amount you can spend with your travel money card. Just load the card with however much you want to spend.

You’ll get great exchange rates and no fees on ATM withdrawals up to £2,000 rolling monthly (allowances depend on your plan).

With some travel money cards, once you load money onto them, it can be a hassle to keep track of your balances and spending.

With Revolut, there's no need to pre-purchase travel money or convert your balance before your next trip. And it’s not a prepaid card you just throw away after your adventure. Trust us, you’ll want to use your Revolut card for your future getaways and everyday spending.

Simply use your travel money card while you're abroad, and we'll auto-convert your balance to the currency you're spending in at competitive rates. You can also create multi-currency accounts to keep different currencies for your next destination.

Get instant payment notifications as you spend, check your PIN, add money to your balance, set limits, and much more in-app. With real-time notifications, you’ll know when a card payment is successful and can keep track of how much you're spending while you're on holiday.

We use two-factor authentication to protect your account and payments and make sure you're the only one who can access your money.

You can control your card’s security directly in the Revolut app. Freeze your card, set spending limits, and more — it’s all at your fingertips.

Here's how to get your physical travel currency card:

1. Download the Revolut app: find it in the Apple or Google Play Store.
2. Sign up for Revolut: apply for an account and verify your identity
3. Add a debit card: go to Cards and follow the instructions to start your order
4. Set your PIN: choose a PIN that you'll remember
5. Arrange delivery: enter your delivery address and select your delivery method before proceeding to checkout (delivery fees may apply)

Don’t worry, there's no need to wait for your physical card to arrive — you can also use virtual travel cards with Revolut. Just connect your card to your Google Wallet or Apple Wallet, and start using it right away.

A travel money card is a popular way to spend when travelling abroad. There's no 'best' way to spend when travelling, but here are a few tips to help you save money:

1. Don’t exchange cash at the airport. It’s usually cheaper to withdraw money from an ATM with your travel money card.
2. Don't carry more cash than you need. When you get back from your trip, you’ll need to convert it back into GBP, which can take time and cost you in fees.
3. Always choose the local currency when spending with your card in shops and restaurants.
4. Sign up for Revolut so you can manage your balance and get instant notifications on how much you're spend.

• exchanging currencies before you go or while you're there
• withdrawing money from ATMs
• using your card in shops, restaurants, and more

Traditional banks aren't your only option. Financial apps often have similar features to traditional banks without the hassle.

With Revolut, you can do everything in-app and save on your transactions and withdrawals abroad. You get ultimate flexibility and control over your money.

Prepaid travel cards can come with initial load fees, reload fees, ATM fees, or inactivity fees, depending on the provider. On the other hand, travel debit cards act like any other debit card, but they’re also great for spending abroad in different currencies.

Prepaid travel cards might not be reliable for reservations like booking hotels, cars, or cruises — or anything that requires a deposit.

It can also take 2–3 business days for a transaction to a prepaid travel card to clear.

A travel money card gives you the flexibility to add money when you want and spend it when and where you want to.
