Key features

The Australia Post Travel Platinum Mastercard is an extremely versatile travel card which can help you to manage your travel budget effectively. 

Unlike most credit and debit cards the AustPost Travel Platinum Mastercard allows you to lock in your exchange rate on up to 10 currencies before you go so you’ll know exactly where your hard-earned vacation money is being spent. Just bear in mind that this only applies to the funds you initially lock in, as subsequent reloads will be subject to an updated exchange rate. 

If you need to put more funds on the card while on the road you’ll be able to do so through the Australia Post Travel Platinum Mastercard app or the Australia Post website where you’ll have a couple of reload options: 

  • Via bank transfer (free)

  • Via BPAY (1% if not booking through 'My Account' or the app)

  • Via debit card ($5 per debit card load transaction)

Travellers also have access to Mastercard’s worldwide network of ATMs and retailers worldwide so there are plenty of options available when it comes to spending. It’s worth remembering that the card does have a $3.50 AUD foreign ATM fee though. 

If something does go wrong overseas you can sleep easy knowing that Australia Post provides 24/7 global emergency assistance at no additional cost, plus they may even arrange for  emergency cash to be made available to you.

Any catches

This is a travel card best used for overseas travel, not for day to day use in Australia. For domestic ATM withdrawals you’ll be charged 2.95% of the value withdrawn. 

Also watch out for the $10 cash out fee if you’re wanting to take any remaining funds off your card.
