About this app

Get the UK’s top-rated travel debit card that automatically exchanges your money at the Realtime Rate, typically beating so-called “0% fee” cards*.

NEVER TOP UP AGAIN
Your Currensea card links directly to your UK bank account - no need to top it up, carry cash, or worry about hidden pre-loading fees other cards charge.

NO HIDDEN FEES, JUST GREAT RATES
Unlike high street banks, travel spending cards, and “fee free” cards, Currensea has no hidden fees, no markups, and no hidden charges, just great rates with zero hassle.

REALTIME SPEND NOTIFICATIONS
Every transaction instantly summarised in the local currency and GBP, so you always know how much you’ve paid.

SAVE ££’s
Currensea customers saved £55* on average last year compared to spending abroad with a high street bank card.


GOOGLE PAY
Add your Currensea card to Google Pay for an even more convenient way to spend and save on your travels

GLOBAL DATA
Stay connected worldwide with free eSIMs, included on our Pro and Elite plans

Currensea is the top-rated travel debit card in the UK. But don’t just take our word for it we’re rated 4.9/5, Excellent on TrustPilot.

"Quick to apply, simple to set-up, and great seeing savings come through as you spend."

"Effortless to use, good rates, and reliable to date. It's a keeper."

"Currensea has made my life easier by not having to worry about rip-off exchange rates ever again."

*High street banks add FX markups to overseas transactions, making the Currensea Realtime Rate significantly cheaper. Challenger banks rely on card scheme rates, which apply variable FX rates, making the Realtime Rate typically cheaper.

*Average annual savings are based on customers who made at least one transaction in their first year. We compared FX fees from using their bank card vs Currensea to create an average.

When I click to 'reset password' it sends me an email link. Clicking on this then informs me that the 'link has expired' less than three minutes since it was sent. Utterly useless app that promises much but delivers diddly squat. Unusable! I keep trying to use this app and reset the password. It keeps me on a 'continuous loop' stating that I should resend my email address for a link to reset password. Utterly useless! Total waste of my time. Customer service is non-existent too! DON'T USE!

Did not make it clear on the website that you can only interact withe currensea using a phone app. As someone that does not want to do any form of mobile banking. I'm now in a situation where I've got a half set up login that I want to delete. But I can't do that until I've completed the account set up. Updated - to 3 stars because of the swiftness of the response by the team. But it should be pointed out that it is not online banking access which is required but Mobile banking access.

Hi Simon, thanks for leaving this review. As Currensea is an Open Banking based product, you need to have access to online banking to link your bank with us. We can see that you asked to close your account on the 7th and a member of our CS team actioned this shortly after you left this review. Best wishes, Currensea Team

Excellent overall. Used this in the US and it saved me a significant amount of money in transaction fees. Utterly straightforward to use, accepted everywhere inc. on tap and go public transport. Clear notifications for every use. The one issue is that as others have reported, the app sends me round in circles trying to register my device (tried multiple times, no success) but this does not stop the card and app working as they are supposed to. Will never use another card abroad again!
