The IFX MasterCard® Prepaid Currency Card
is an extremely secure, convenient and costeffective
way to make payments, either to
overseas companies and individuals, or to
cover expenses and purchases when you’re
travelling abroad.
It also offers all the benefits of a MasterCard®
denominated in either Euros or US Dollars,
but without the need for a foreign bank
account to support it.
How it works
The e-account is a secure online account,
available in either Euros or US Dollars.
You can use it either to hold funds ready
to transfer onto your IFX MasterCard®, or
to make regular payments to suppliers,
companies or individuals abroad.
Once you’ve received your IFX MasterCard®,
and ‘loaded’ funds onto it, you can use it
exactly like any other MasterCard®.
Cheaper than a conventional bank
account, debit or credit card
When you make payments in a foreign currency
using a standard UK bank card, you’re
penalised twice; first through international bank
fees charged on foreign currency transactions,
and second on the exchange rate they apply.
With the IFX MasterCard®, there are no currency
exchange fees to pay (the funds are already
in the correct currency). You benefit from a
significantly better exchange rate than that
offered by your bank or card provider – let
alone by a Bureau de Change at the airport.
Greater security and peace of mind
The IFX MasterCard® is safer and more
convenient than carrying large amounts
of cash with you when you travel, and like
any MasterCard®, your purchases are protected
by Chip and PIN.
In addition, because it’s prepaid, there’s no risk
of cloning or unauthorised access to your bank
or personal details.
Protection against adverse currencymovement
When you’re transferring currency onto
your IFX MasterCard®, you’re effectively locking
the exchange rate for your purchases,
protecting yourself against adverse currency
movements in the future.
You can manage your account or top up
your card at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week, either by phone, text or online, with
the extra funds available immediately.
