2022 Travel Money Cards Star Ratings and Award

2022 Travel Money Card Star Ratings and Award

Canstar’s Travel Money Card Star Ratings use a sophisticated and unique ratings methodology that compares both price and features across travel money cards on our database. The top-performing cards have been recognised with a 5-Star Rating, with the providers whose products came out on top given an Outstanding Value Award.

With international travel resuming after the pandemic, many Australians have begun to consider a holiday abroad. Using a travel money card can help with managing your overseas holiday finances. So, how did Canstar’s researchers decide which travel money card products and providers were a cut above in 2022?

For the price score, Canstar considered the exchange rates as well as the fees for loading, reloading and using each card overseas (both at a point of sale and through an ATM), plus how much will be available to spend in the purchased foreign currency. Canstar also considered whether cards offered the ability to earn reward points.

For the features score, Canstar considered different factors such as the currencies available on the card, the ability to reload the card, the available spending options and security.
