Travelex Money Card (Home Delivery)

In recent years, having cashless payment methods in addition to cash when traveling abroad has become essential from the perspective of safety and convenience. Contactless payment, in particular, is rapidly spreading overseas not only for its high security but also as a smooth payment method for public transportation such as trains and buses.

The Travelex Money Card has been supported primarily by students (junior high school, high school, and university students) who do not have credit cards, as a secure payment method for overseas travel such as language study abroad, study abroad programs, and overseas school trips.

Against this backdrop, we have launched a service to deliver the card to customers' homes so that more people can use it. This service eliminates the need for in-store card pickup, which was previously required, allowing those who do not have stores nearby or do not have time to visit a store to receive their card at home after applying online.

What is Travelex Money Card?

The Travelex Money Card is an overseas-only prepaid card that can be used at Mastercard® affiliated stores in over 210 countries and regions worldwide. You can choose from 9 currencies and make payments safely and smartly with contactless payment. As it is a prepaid card, it prevents overspending and minimizes the risk in case of loss, allowing you to use it with peace of mind and plan your expenses. You can also easily check your balance and top up via the app.
