Travel money cards offer a safe and convenient way to spend while you’re on holiday. By pre-loading your chosen currency, you avoid having to convert costs as you go or pay fees on purchases. Using your normal bank card abroad can often result in fees on each transaction in shops or restaurants.

Prepaid travel cards do not affect your credit history. Some cards may have fees for inactivity, ATM withdrawals, or spending in unsupported currencies. They also might not be accepted everywhere.

No, with the Asda Travel Money card, once you load currency onto your card, there are no charges for paying directly with it or withdrawing cash from ATMs. However, fees may apply if you pay in a currency not loaded onto your card. Check the full list of fees for details.

Your Asda Travel Money Card is activated as soon as you pick it up in-store. If you ordered your card online, you’ll need to activate it by calling the number on the card: 0800 260 0355 (UK) or +44 203 284 8395 (from abroad).

When collecting your Asda Travel Money Card in-store, you’ll need to show the payment card used for the order and valid photo ID. This could either a passport, full UK photographic driving licence (no provisional licences), or a National ID Card from EEA member states or Switzerland matching the cardholder’s details. Home delivery orders require a signature on delivery.

The Asda Travel Money Card allows you to load multiple currencies, top up as needed, and use it for purchases without fees when spending in a loaded currency. It also keeps your bank details separate from your main accounts. This can be handy for international travel or when visiting multiple countries.

It works like any other payment card. You can use it worldwide wherever Mastercard Prepaid is accepted to pay for goods and services.
