Post Office Travel

Now, the post office application has been very useful, as one can top up money whilst travelling as well as check ones balance on the travel money card. In conclusion, lastly, I found the travel money card particularly useful on 16th November 2019, evening time as one can search for useful tips and questions that one maybe concerned about before travelling, during and after travel, and for me, I found this application extremely useful, as there was information I needed to know before my travel, such as the currency of the country I am travelling to, and where to obtain the currency of the country I am travelling to shortly. Moreover, I thank the developers for making this useful, and appropriate travel application as I believe it is a safe as well as secure method of travelling with money, to the country of ones choice instead of carrying loads of cash around in different currencies, and risking theft issues or lost issues. Also, I found the help and advice section on the website useful, as I had forgotten my PIN number as I never used my travel money card for a while, and I was able to call up a number from the travel money website, and follow the on phone instructions to retrieve my PIN number once again. Next, thank you developers for making this travel application once again. Many thanks Hannah Boyce

Local main clearing bank closed its branch. Called into the post office for some euro as the rate was in line and it was convenient accessible and handy and I was in a hurry. The staff were friendly, practical, product knowledgeable and the advice, service and overall helpfulness was first rate. I’m currently overseas and have used my card without problem; I have topped up using the app, again with no apparent problem. I don’t have the worry of carrying a lot of cash or suffering retailer ripoff rate charges. So overall a great service. Thank you Post Office, Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire. PS. I’m an older less tech savvy person so I would recommend this travel aide to all ages.

I am currently travelling and using this app and the card with it has been very easy and incredibly useful. The update speed on balances is ideal and means you’re able to stay on top of your money. I am also on a trip involving multiple countries and being able to transfer balances to a new currency is great too. However, all too frequently, the app gives back a message that the service is not available. This is very stressful when you’re relying on the app to supply you with the means to pay for e.g fuel to drive around in a foreign country or a means to find food or a hotel room. The app needs to be rock solid - I accept that down times will occur for improvements and so on - but over the last week it’s just too unreliable for me to totally trust the app.

Love this card used it both in Italy and America. Had no problems and every where accepted it. It makes it so much easier paying in the actual currency of the country your visiting. To be honest I have used it to get cash and mainly use it to pay hotel bills or paying for goods. The nice thing is that a quick call can top it up or convert it to another currency in the country you are living in at the time. It’s also useful to help save for a holiday by being able to pop into the post office or using your bank card to build up your spending money. Great little tool for travelling.

The app is very good and easy to use. A few amendments could be added to make it great. Firstly if you are logged out of app you have to back through adding yourself as if it were the first time registering rather than having a ‘sign in’ if you already have account and then second option for first time users. Secondly they should add a section to top up to show how much GBP you have converted to your chosen currency to help keep track of uk monies added. At the moment it only shows the overseas currency held. I would like to see ‘you have topped up £xxx in gbp.
