UK Currency Firm Launches ‘Family and Friends’ Currency Card
Leading UK currency card firm FairFX.com have just launched a Family and Friends card, letting existing cardholders order an associated card for anyone over the age of 13.
These prepaid credit cards can be loaded from an existing FairFX card in the same currency. You can also move money back from the Family and Friends Card onto your original FairFX card, making it much easier to manage larger budgets while you are away on your holidays.
Stephen Heath, FairFX Chief Executive explained how the new card could be useful: “You could give your teenager a pre-set limit of spending money when you are out shopping for the day, giving them freedom to go away and do their own thing, and giving you control over your finances.
“On the other hand you might have an older child planning a gap year. You can keep them topped up with cash, so they don’t have to worry about finding internet access on the move, or racking up big fees on credit cards.
“It’s also useful to keep the whole family topped up with cash on holiday from one place. Perhaps somebody might need to pick up a car while the rest of you grab something to eat? With individual cards, you won’t have money worries.”
The FairFX Family and Friends card costs just £6, and qualifies for the same outstanding exchange rates offered to regular FairFX cardholders. Find out more at http://www.fairfx.com/familyandfriends.

Amit Comments: This seems to be another excellent initiative from the team at FairFX. The market for travel Prepaid Credit Cards continue’s to grow and new initiatives such as the “Family and Friends” currency card just ensures even greater stickiness for such currency cards. As always, the proof of the pudding is in the tasting – so lets see how this works over the next few weeks and months.
