You might want to tell customers that using cash to convert into euros etc onto your PO card means you avoid outrageous debit card transaction charges however easier it is that way

Great card, easy to use, can check the card balance anytime on the easy to use app, very simple to top up online, all shops i used accepted it

Used abroad, very useful. When phones got stolen I was relieved my card wasn’t. However, I would not have been too worried because the card can only be used to the limited amount in the account!

convenient way to pay for goods abroad, no exchange charges like you get paying on credit debt cards

Convenience of using the card abroad instead of cash and being able to top up when required. It seems very secure.

Easy to set up the card initially, obtain travel money and switch between different monies when holidays end

It's just a really handy tool. You can control your holiday spending without having to worry about the credit card bill when you get home.

Easy to order in the currency I wanted, the app was reasonably easy to install for someone like me, not good with apps etc.

Post office travel card works a treat. I haven’t had a problem using it abroad(all in Europe) and it is really easy to top up as long as you are on a secure WiFi.

Makes it so much easier to use abroad, safe in the knowledge you are not incurring interest charges.

I ordered a card for travelling on holiday to Lanzarote and found it very easy to use whether it be for paying for services or topping up.

The ladies in the Post Office were very helpful in explaining everything and answering my queries. Using the card was very easy when I arrived at my destination.

Havent used for several years so checked balance and discovered I still over £200! Lovely surprise so didn't need to top up!

So convenient; can top up anytime, anywhere. So safe; in the event of loss or theft you can only lose what’s on the card; nothing more.

It's not too bad but had to phone to top up money as it wouldn't do it on the app, great to be able to see amount you have on there

Card is easy to use and accepted by majority of retailers. Also easy to follow what you have spent and with whom on app.

Great comfort not carrying, money about. Easy to top up , use and withdraw when on holiday 👏
