About this app

Get the UK’s top-rated travel debit card that automatically exchanges your money at the Realtime Rate, typically beating so-called ā€œ0% feeā€ cards*.

NEVER TOP UP AGAIN
Your Currensea card links directly to your UK bank account - no need to top it up, carry cash, or worry about hidden pre-loading fees other cards charge.

REALTIME SPEND NOTIFICATIONS
Every transaction instantly summarised in the local currency and GBP, so you always know how much you’ve paid.

SAVE ££’s

Currensea is the top-rated travel debit card in the UK. But don’t just take our word for it we’re rated 4.9/5, Excellent on TrustPilot.

"Quick to apply, simple to set-up, and great seeing savings come through as you spend."

"Effortless to use, good rates, and reliable to date. It's a keeper."

"Currensea has made my life easier by not having to worry about rip-off exchange rates ever again."

*High street banks add FX markups to overseas transactions, making the Currensea Realtime Rate significantly cheaper. Challenger banks rely on card scheme rates, which apply variable FX rates, making the Realtime Rate typically cheaper.

*Average annual savings are based on customers who made at least one transaction in their first year. We compared FX fees from using their bank card vs Currensea to create an average.

When I click to 'reset password' it sends me an email link. Clicking on this then informs me that the 'link has expired' less than three minutes since it was sent. Utterly useless app that promises much but delivers diddly squat. Unusable! I keep trying to use this app and reset the password. It keeps me on a 'continuous loop' stating that I should resend my email address for a link to reset password. Utterly useless! Total waste of my time. Customer service is non-existent too! DON'T USE!

Absolutely awful I'm with first Direct and it was a nightmare linking my MAIN account. Had to send statements in to get them to set it up and then guess what just says error and balance unavailable! Get told to unlink my account and try again but no option to do this. This is by far the WORST! Card/account to set up that I have ever seen or had!

Hello Grahame, we are very sorry that you are experiencing these issues. We had a look at your account and even escalated it to our technical team and they have confirmed that the issues you are experiencing lie with your bank and not with Currensea. One of our team members will reach out via email and explain in detail. Best wishes, Currensea Team

Overall this works well as a foreign currency payment card. I've used it in a few countries and online getting a favourable exchange rate and dodging bank fees. But, and it's a BIG but, there's a lag in the reconciliation of the card balance and your linked UK bank account, so some payments show as being paid on your home account, but still show on the Currensea balance. It makes it appear you have less available funds than you actually do. This means your card won't work in some circumstances.
