The card works as it should. However redeeming funds is an absolute nightmare.
The online portal says you can only redeem the full balance. This failed - apparently because the sum I was redeeming was larger than any individual loading - of course it was as I could only redeem the whole balance!! 'Rules' designed to fail.
I was told to release my funds I needed to supply a bank statement with my address on it. This is despite all the funds transferred onto the card being from the same account as the redemption - so what would a statement prove? Nothing!
Customer services promised to look into the matter and get back to me. A week later nothing so I rang and was told my funds are in suspense!
Yet again told to provide the statement.
I really think its a County Court action required to recover my own money!
Terrible.
I want all my money and the card closed - BEWARE!!!
This review does not want a response from Caxton it wants my money sent!

Have used this card for a number of years and have found simple and easy to use - no complaints and very impressed.

I have a Caxton currency card. In error I used an incorrect password and the account was locked. I explained at we were in France and needed to pay for accommodation last night and the response was that they were very busy and would get back to me in 72 hours. I phoned 3 times during the day and emailed twice. The simple task of unblocking the card has still not been done and no one has been in contact with us. Heartless and uncaring! Would not recommend.

Card is good and easy to use and manage online.
Exchange rates for euros and other currencies not very good, so only useful as a backup card.

Have just taken delivery of card in New Zealand Dollars. Fast service and have just made 3 top ups and the exchange rates far exceeded what I would have received by going into local Travel Money Exchanges. Not going to NZ until early December but concerned that with all this Brexit business exchange rates may become volatile

Not happy per my latest experience. They blocked my money even when transaction failed due to address not matching with my bank account address.
In the second instance, even after updating my address, it failed the transaction but blocked my money again. The fault with Caxton app not able to find and populate the address correctly (I updated the address before this attempt)
Definitely switching to some other provider..... won't recommend Caxton to anyone

After strong recomendstions I opened a caxton account and transfeted £500 which had an additional £30 offer unfortunately the euro rate given was €1.04. A few days later their advertised rate was €1.07 believe this reduced rate was to compensate for £30 offer
