Travel Card
A travel card allows you to load money into the card in advance, typically in multiple currencies, and then use it for purchases, ATM withdrawals, and payments during your trip. It can be a convenient and secure way to manage your money abroad since they often offer features such as competitive exchange rates, lock-in rates, and currency protection.
