Also, one in five of us take our credit cards abroad and rely on drawing money from ATMs, which incurs expensive foreign exchange and transaction fees each time we use them.\u00a0 In fact, in 2008 Brits were responsible for drawing \u00a36.7 billion abroad on their debit cards, with Barclays, NatWest and HSBC charging foreign exchange fees of 2.75% and cash withdrawal fees of 2% making them a whopping \u00a3300m in fees!<\/p>\n<p>If this is cause for concern for you then you may like to consider the ingenious My Travel Cash&#8217;s Euro and US Dollar cards, which incur no fees on any transaction made in the card\u2019s currency and best of all there is no commission to pay when you buy your foreign currency.\u00a0 It works like a pay-as-you-go mobile phone, you load them with money before you travel and top them up when needed, meaning you only spend what you pre-load.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to saving you money on exchange rates,\u00a0My Travel Cash\u2019s currency cards offer secure Chip &amp; PIN protection as well as access to the MasterCard\u00ae network, meaning the cards can be used at over 30 million merchants and 1.5 million ATMs around the world. You can get your hands on one of these without lengthy credit checks and all you need is a proof of identity and the cash to load onto them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to some research just carried out by Opinion Matters on behalf of www.mytravelcash.com, over half of UK travelers are worried about over spending on their holidays.
