The NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued) supports:
- Australian dollars
- Canadian dollars
- Euros
- Great British pounds
- Hong Kong dollars
- Japanese yen
- New Zealand dollars
- Singapore dollars
- Thai baht
- US dollars
Please note that all money transferred to the card will be loaded into your default currency wallet. This is Australian dollars by default, but you can change this online by logging into your account. You may then convert loaded funds from your default currency to other chosen currencies at NAB Currency to Currency foreign exchange rates. This variable rate is determined by NAB and will be quoted to you at the time of your currency conversion. You may also access these rates online at the NAB website at any time.
How does the default currency order work?
Also note that a default currency order applies when you transact in a currency that isn't supported by or sufficiently loaded on your card. This order cannot be changed, and it determines how your account will be debited for the transaction amount:
To illustrate, suppose you use your NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued) to pay for a meal during a layover in Kuala Lumpur. The meal is charged in Malaysian ringgit, which isn't supported by the card. Following the default currency order, the transaction will be debited from your Australian dollar balance if sufficient. If insufficient, it will continue to debit each currency wallet as listed in the currency order until the transaction amount is satisfied.
Note that in such events, when you transact or are charged in a currency that is unsupported or insufficiently loaded on your card, you will also be charged an NAB foreign currency conversion fee, which is 4% of the total transaction value. The currency conversion rate applied to convert your available currency or currencies into the transaction currency is a rate set by Mastercard which varies from time to time.
Where can I use my Nab Traveller Card?
Your NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued) is accepted at 43 million Mastercard locations worldwide, except where merchants process payments manually or do not accept Mastercard prepaid cards. Be aware, however, that it cannot be used for money transfers, direct debits or recurring payments, transacting on adult or gambling websites, or for any unlawful activity. Furthermore, the card cannot be used in restricted countries subject to US economic or trade sanctions, which currently includes North Korea, Iran, Syria and Sudan.Features of the NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued)

How to use the NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued)
Get your NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued) up and running by following these easy steps.
- Getting the card. Pick up your new travel card online or by heading into any NAB branch. If you order your card online it can take a week or so to arrive. When you receive the card, you will be issued a four-digit PIN with your primary card and a separate four-digit PIN with your secondary card.
- Loading funds on the card. When getting your new card, you will need to tell the NAB customer service representative which currencies you want loaded on your card. You may load up to 10 currencies, subject to the in-branch load minimum and maximum of AUD$50 and AUD$45,000 respectively. Subsequent reloads via BPAY are limited to AUD$25,000 daily. Note that BPAY transfers can take up to three business days to process, and exchange rates applied to BPAY reloads will be taken at the time of processing, which can differ from rates at the time of your initiated transfer. On the other hand, if you have a linked NAB account, transfer of funds to your travel card via NAB internet banking will be instantaneous.
- Managing your online account. Check your card transactions and balances online at any time via NAB internet banking or by logging into "My Account" at the NAB travel card website. You can also reload online, manage your default currency and transfer currencies between currency wallets.
What if I return home with foreign currency remaining on the card?
You may wish to keep the funds on your card for future travel, or close your account entirely. Should you request account closure, any remaining funds on the card will be converted into Australian dollars at the prevailing NAB currency exchange rates and transferred to your nominated Australian bank account. If you have linked NAB accounts, instantly transfer funds from your travel card to your NAB bank account via internet banking without closing the travel card.
Who do I contact if my card is lost, stolen or damaged?
Upon discovering that your card is lost or stolen, please contact Card Services immediately on 1800 098 231, or +44 207 649 9404 if you're overseas. Your card will then be cancelled and you may use your secondary card since it has a different PIN. If you've lost both cards, a replacement card will be arranged and you may also be offered assistance including emergency cash.
How to apply for a NAB Traveller Card (Discontinued)
