Cash Passport - MasterCard Prepaid Currency Card

These days by far the most convenient and safest way to travel with your money is with a Cash Passport. You choose the currencies and how much to load onto your card and be assured that when using overseas ATMs or in-store that your transaction is not linked to your bank account. You get 2 cards and reloading is easy. You can even reload from Australia using Bpay® which makes it great when family members are away and in need of more funds.

You will also need a smaller amount of cash in local currency for when you arrive.

Introducing the Multi-currency Cash Passport

Multi-currency Cash Passport enables card holders to load both foreign currencies and Australian Dollars onto the one card, and can be reloaded as many times as they want during the life of the card, within applicable time limits. We think the Mastercard Multi Currency Cash Passport is the best multi-currency card available to Australian travellers. The major difference is the multi-currency card offers smart wallet functionality. Not available with most cards, this function allows funds to be used from multiple currency wallets if required to help ensure your transaction is approved. This means, unlike other multi-currency cards, if you have run out of enough funds in the currency of the country you are in, money from another loaded currency can be exchanged on the card.
