Travelex is worth using overseas

When we buy different currencies and we make the payment straight away it takes a few day to show up in our transaction and is not instant. This is really annoying when you are overseas and you have to top up your card!

Superstar in Nelson!

The agent in Nelson (and shamefully have forgotten his name) was excellent on all 3 of our interactions.
He "went the extra mile"
I was also able to observe him deal with other customers while waiting, and he showed the same patience and kindness to all. A difficult task as many of the queries would have been the same old, same old!

Easy to order and arrived quicker than scheduled. Staff was friendly and provided excellent service.

However, it would be better to have the place inside the store rather than in open area like Albany Branch.

Rate not that great

I liked the convenience of using it as it was accepted most places apart from one of the supermarkets I went to.
I was disappointed that the rate given of 79c was not that great as if I used my own debit card it was 83c. Being a BNZ customer I thought there was a better rate but I think what I got was what any non BNZ customers would have. I was also told there were no fees for withdrawal from an ATM and I was charged $7.50. Overall I don’t think I saved anything by using this card and perhaps would have been better off with my debit card with the rate difference.

I like how easy it is to top up from credit card, but fees are high and currency exchange rates are very low. I would use wise if they didnt have a withdrawal limit
