The Currency Shop Says: Why should we consider the Travel Money Oz Currency Pass

It's convenient in so many ways. You essentially get a digital wallet for multiple currencies, which makes it a safer option than carrying loads of cash on you.

You also don't have to worry about converting money at ridiculous exchange rates. Nor will you have the hassle of finding a money exchange at your travel destination.

However, there is always a higher price for convenience. And the Travel Money Oz Currency Pass is no different.

If you're an organised traveller moving between multiple popular destinations, you might find Travel Money Oz's Currency Pass handy. If this doesn't sound like you, check out other travel money card options. You might find one that is better for your needs. Or you might even find using a debit or credit card more suitable.
