Pay in 180 currencies while removing at least 85% of FX fees and receive the latest interbank exchange rate

Buy online with a multi-currency card and save 85% in FX fees each time

As long as the website accepts Mastercard payments, you can use your Currensea multi currency card to make online payments internationally. The Currensea multi-currency card can save you over £290 when visiting the USA.

Best of all, you don’t need a physical card to make online purchases. As a result, we offer our business customers the option to choose a virtual card as well. Users can access their virtual card credentials on their online dashboard or via the mobile app. 

All online purchases are protected by Mastercards purchase protection, this means your purchases are protected like they would be if you used your Mastercard credit card.

Save money on Saas subscriptions with Currensea’s multi-currency card

More and more businesses are using Saas (software as a service) technology across multiple business functions. Whether hosting your website online, storing client details on CRM software, managing expenses digitally, or working with an online graphic designer – you could be importing a multitude of products and services without even realising. 

Up to 80% of tech providers are based in the US and charge in US dollar. Whilst several providers offer you the option to pay in pounds, you could be hit by unfavourable exchange rates. These hidden fees can quickly add up when paying for multiple subscriptions. 

Currensea's multi-currency card allows you to change the debit card number you pay with and save over 3% per transaction.
