Planing to go to Vanuatu so would like to know what prepaid card would be best.

Hi Robyn,
Thanks for leaving a question on Finder.
Traveling with cash in Vanuatu is recommended. We have a comparison of travel money cards for Vanuatu to avoid paying international transfer fees and commissions. Some places in Vanuatu accept Australian dollars as well, however, the exchange rate is generally unfavorable. Since Vanuatu is not as popular as saying Bali or the USA just to name a few, we do not have a specific page for travel money cards there. Thanks for bringing this up and we might update our pages soon and include Vanuatu. Hope you find what you need and please remember that you can always send us a message anytime if you have further questions.
Cheers,
Joel

I am traveling to China and cannot see it listed as a location which surprises me. Also from my initial research it does not get listed on any cards. So, can you recommend a travel card for China or is cash the best option?
Thank You.

Hi Brenden,
Thank you for getting in touch with Finder.
Since you are traveling to China, please check our list of travel money options.
China is developing at a rapid pace, and is emerging as a centre for the global banking and financial services; however, outside of the major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, and Hong Kong, you won’t be able to reply on using your card and will need to carry cash.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other enquiries.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
Cheers,
Jeni

I want to know what is the best travel card for serbia
JoelApril 27, 2018
Hi Mili,
Thanks for leaving a question on finder.
Serbia is home to mountains, monasteries, vampires (well, maybe), raspberries and an edgy nightlife scene. The Balkan nation is growing as a destination for tourists and is very much cash based compared to other countries in Western Europe. Visa and Mastercard credit cards are widely accepted by merchants with point of sale card payment facilities as well as ATMs. Banking services and facilities in Belgrade and other large cities are modern and safe; however, you may have problems using your cards for purchases in towns and rural areas. ATM access may be limited in these places, too. The currency of the Republic of Serbia is the dinar (RSD). We compare products you can use to spend in RSD without paying international transaction fees.
Cheers,
Joel

Hi Edna,
Thanks for your question.
The “best” option will depend on exactly where you are travelling, your financial situation and your travel spending habits.
You might want to either consider a debit, credit card or prepaid card that doesn’t charge foreign transaction or currency conversion fees. You may also carry a prepaid travel card with you.
It’s always a good idea to have more than one travel money option. So you might want to consider a credit card that’s designed for overseas expenses for emergencies and big purchases and a debit or prepaid card and cash for everyday expenses. You should never keep all of your money options on you at one time, try to leave one option in a safe place (such as your hotel safe or with your luggage) to ensure that you’re not strapped for cash should you lose your wallet.
For travel money tips on travelling to Europe (including Sweden and Norway), please see this Travel Money Guide to Europe.
Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions of the card your will use to ensure that you got everything covered before you travel.
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
Sally

I am going to south africa on holiday what is the cheapest way to exchange some money
BelindaNovember 12, 2015
Hi Jojo,
Thanks for your enquiry.
You can compare a range of money transfer providers that transfer funds to South Africa and compare fees and transfer speed. If you look under the rate and online transfer fee tab, you will be able to find the most competitive provider for your transaction.
Otherwise, you can compare different travel money cards and travel money tips. Some of which you can load the South African Rand (ZAR). Please ensure to read through the relevant product disclosure statement and terms and conditions of the card to ensure that you got everything covered before you travel.
Thanks,
Belinda
Important information about this website
Finder makes money from featured partners, but editorial opinions are our own.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
