Traveling with large amounts of cash used to mean you’d either have to sweat it out with a big bankroll in your pocket or get writer’s cramp signing a bucketload of travelers’ cheques. But not any more.
Now, there are great ways to travel with cash stored in a credit card-sized piece of plastic that is NOT a credit card (though it looks like one). These currency/debit cards give you the confidence of cash, the ease of a credit card and all the privacy in the world.
Prepaid Anonymous Debit Card: Preloaded and Ready to Go!
Offshore Pro Group Prepaid Anonymous debit card card looks like a credit card, but has no name on it, just a numerical code. The user also gets a PIN code. The user calls his or her banker, who loads the card with a maximum 10,000 U.S. dollars .It can then be used to withdraw cash all over the world. Even better, there are no monthly limits of withdrawal, although a limit per withdrawal may apply. And you can reload the card when you run out of cash.
Now, it’s not free. When you purchase the card and load it for the first time, you pay a commission of 1%, not unlike an insurance premium in the event of loss or theft. Charges for each withdrawal are three euros or three U.S. dollars (depending on the type of currency loaded in the card) worldwide, though local ATMs may add on their own charges. And when you reload it, you pay a commission of 1% on the reloading amount.
Other good points...
• If you lose the card or it’s stolen, the card is replaced and your current balance is credited to your new card—worldwide and at no charge. And anyone who finds the card won’t be able to use it without knowing the PIN.
• You can use the card at more than 900,000 ATMs in more than 120 countries around the world.
• Your privacy is protected—purchases aren’t made in the card user’s name.
