Travelling with cash in Vanuatu is recommended. We have a comparison of travel money cards HERE to avoid paying international transfer fees and commissions. Some places in Vanuatu accept Australian dollars as well, however the exchange rate is generally unfavourable. Since Vanuatu is not as popular as say Bali or 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.
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?
Since you are traveling to China, please check out this page for your travel money options.
China is developing at a rapid pace, and is emerging as a centre for 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.
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.
As a financial comparison service, we can’t suggest what the ‘best’ card option is as the most suitable option will depend on your financial situation and your travel plans.

You can compare a range of money transfer providers that transfer funds to South Africa on this page. If you look under the ‘rate’ and ‘online transfer fee’ tab, you’ll be able to find the most competitive provider for your transaction.
Otherwise you can compare different travel money cards here, some of which you can load the South African Rand (ZAR).
Citibank on their site mention their ATM partners but do not list who they are. How do I find out who their ATM partners are for UK and Europe apart from Visa branded ATMs?
Thanks Sally, I have used findmyciti but it was less than helpfully looking for ATMs in Europe. Citibank don’t seem to have many if any ATMs in Europe and they don’t list their partner ATMs. The best option is to search for Visa Plus ATMs.
Cheers

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as '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. You can learn more about how we make money here.
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.
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 labelling 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.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle.

Citibank on their site mention their ATM partners but do not list who they are. How do I find out who their ATM partners are for UK and Europe apart from Visa branded ATMs?
Hi Richo,
Thanks for your comment.
You can locate Citi’s international ATM partners using the findmyciti website. I’ve sent you a link via email.
I hope this has helped.
Thanks,

Hi Richo,
Thanks for your response and I’m sorry to hear that the findmyciti app wasn’t particularly helpful.
Yes, you will be able to access your funds via a Visa Plus ATM. Please keep in mind that some local ATM fees may apply.
Best,
Sally
