Travelex launches travel money card in Japan

Wednesday, 04 Sep, 2023 0

Foreign exchange retailer Travelex has introduced its prepaid foreign currency card to the Asian market.

It launched the Travelex Travel Money Card in Japan.

Designed exclusively for overseas use, the contactless foreign currency card enables customers to load multiple currencies for use at any Mastercard-affiliated shop or restaurant.

It can be used in more than 210 counties and regions worldwide.

Customers that purchase more than 100K Yen can get a 2,000 Yen discount in the three months after the card launch.

In addition to Japanese Yen, the Travelex Money Card supports eight foreign currencies, including the US Dollar, Euro and Australian Dollar.

When travelling to other countries, customers can load their card with Japanese Yen or other supported currencies which convert to the local currency when making a payment.

The card is not linked to a bank account, meaning the use of unauthorised access is minimised.

The card can be purchased both in-store and pre-ordered online and picked up in-store.

The card’s features can be managed through the Travelex Money App.

On the app customers can add currency, check their balance, view their transaction history and pause usage in case of loss or theft.

The Travelex Money Card is already available to customers in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Jun Otani, Director, Travelex Japan, said: “We are delighted to launch the Travelex Money Card in Japan.”

“The card has proved to be hugely popular in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, and offers customers greater convenience and security than ever before.”
