Travel Money Card Top Up FAQ's

There are various ways you can top up:

Online

Please note online top up limits (across all currencies on the card):

• In one day: £5,000
• Within 7 days: £15,000
• Within 60 days: £30,000

The online top up limits are subject to the total Card Fund balance (including all currencies) not exceeding £5,000 at any one time. Online top ups will be credited to your Travel Money Card immediately.

Bank transfer (via phone or internet banking)

To top up via internet or telephone banking, this is what you need to do:

• Ensure you have registered your email address with us in the secure 'My Account' area on this website.
• In ‘My Account’ , set the currency that you would like to top up as your default currency; this is where we will allocate your money. You can only top up one currency per bank transfer.
• Then you can either phone your bank or log into your bank account via your bank’s website and create a new payee to make a GBP payment.

Please use the following details:

• Bank details Beneficiary/Payee: Mastercard Prepaid
• Sort code: 20-32-53
• Account number: 63807568
• Reference: Your 16 digit Travel Money Card number (on the front of card)
• Amount: Please ensure that the amount you load on your card is within the allowed card limits.

You may top up a maximum of £5,000 per day (across all currencies on the card) via a bank transfer, but your total Card Fund balance at any one time (including all currencies) may not exceed £5,000.

It may take up to 5 working days for your bank to transfer the funds to us, however, be assured that we will load the funds onto your Travel Money Card within 24 hours of receiving them. We will send you confirmation via email that your top up has been successful.

Remember to set/change your preferred default currency in ‘My Account’ before transferring your money to us. Payments made in GBP will be converted to the relevant default currency, which will be set as GBP until changed. You will find the rate we used on your top up confirmation.

Via the mobile app

Download our handy mobile app and top up on the go. Please note, mobile app reload limits (across all currencies on the card):

• In one day: £250

Mobile App top up limit is subject to your total Card Fund balance at any one time (including all currencies) not exceeding £5,000. Mobile app top up will be credited to your account immediately.

Over the phone

Simply call Card Services on +44 207 649 9404 and you can pay directly from your UK issued debit or credit card.

Please note, telephone top up limits (across all currencies on the card):

• In one day: £750
• Within 60 days: £1,500

Telephone top ups will be credited to your account immediately.

For example, if you top up £750 onto your card in one day, you may then only load a further £750 within 60 days. The telephone reload limits are subject to the total Card Fund balance already on the card at the time of the top up, as your total Card Fund balance (including all currencies) may not exceed £5,000 at any one time.
