    I applied for two Caxton fx dollar cards on one account on 24 September and got an acknowledgement of acceptance the same day.
    Today 12 October (19 days later) I still haven't got my cards. I sent an email 9 days ago to chase up and have been exchanging emails since. The person on Customer Services ...

    In principle, the Caxton card is great; excellent exchange rates, no charges for using at ATMs or for card payments. However the promise is let down by poor customer service and technological problems.

    On numerous occasions now I have found myself in a situation abroad where I want to check my bal ...

    weve had one for two years now and Caxton FX Currency Exchange cant be faulted. 2 cards on a linked account, easy to top up (we top up by text), no fees whatsoever using it outside of the uk (even withdrawing cash is free) and easy to get balances etc.

    I 1st got the Euro card earlier this year for a trip to Spain, I found loading the card and checking the balance by SMS a great help.
    My mate had picked up a pre-pay card, in store, from Thomas Cook. We never found a place that would accept it as it didn't have his name on and they'd always ask for ...

    I was a bit concerned about using a brokerage as my money would not be gauranteed by the government. However Caxton fx were helpful every step of the way and kept me informed. I purchased euros for a property in France and from the time I 'booked' the deal and sent them the money, to the time the eu ...

    In principle a very good idea and a real boon for travellers. Rates are great and lack of charges very appealing.
    Seems a good idea but try the alternative providers just to be sure.

    Internet facility not very user-friendly (can't download transactions). Not fully confident about their security procedures. I only had my card for 2 months, and had two alleged fraudulent transactions posted. They froze the account pending an investigation (which is fair enough), but wouldn't refun ...

    You load the Caxton card from a uk bank card at a given rate. You then spend at shops etc in euros. Simple. The rate you have loaded at is fixed so it's not a blind gamble every time you use the card, unlike Visa or Mastercard credit cards.
    Overall, I am very happy with the card
