Summer holidays are right around the corner and if you’ve got big plans to head overseas you need to get your travel money sorted. But every traveller has different spending needs, so how do you know you’re getting the right travel card for your circumstance?
Different travel money options work for different travellers. If you’re strict about your budget, a prepaid or debit travel card might be in order. On the other hand, if you want to soak up all your trip has to offer without ever worrying about your budget, a credit card might be more your speed.
To help you choose, we’ve handpicked a list of winners from this year’s Mozo Experts Choice Travel Money Awards. So whatever kind of holiday you’ve got in mind and whatever kind of spender you are, take a look below.
