James and Craig were fed up with paying unnecessary bank fees every time they travelled.
The alternatives weren’t much better: prepaid cards, extra accounts, constant top-ups and too much friction.
There had to be a simpler way to spend abroad. So they built it.

Currensea launched in 2020 as the UK’s first direct debit travel card. It connects securely to your current account and lets you spend abroad in local currency without the sneaky high-street banks’ FX fees.
There’s no new bank account to open, and no prepaid balance to manage. Just travel money, made easy.
Currensea makes spending simpler and more rewarding.
Through partnerships with global travel brands, our co-branded travel debit cards turn your everyday spending into loyalty points and airline miles.
All our cards work through debit and seamlessly connect to your existing UK bank account for a simple, familiar way to pay. Every purchase brings you closer to free hotel nights, flight upgrades and future travel.
Connect your Currensea card to your existing bank account.
We debit your bank account when you spend, and will notify you of savings.
