Ordered a prepaid Euro card

I had been using the Euro card for a year or so with little problem. Halfway through last year my card started being rejected by supermarkets, ATM's, restaurants and bars for no apparent reason. I contacted customer service and received nothing but dismissal and denial that it was any fault of theirs!
My card has always had a healthy balance but this has made no difference. I am going to another provider! fairFX you really do need to get your act together. Customers count.

The card worked well, but the fees were higher than expected when withdrawing cash in America. All bank machines put their own charge on top as they don’t recognise the card as being in Dollars so charge a conversion amount. Wallmart’s was nearly $20!!
Make sure you withdraw at a bank but this will still cost around $5 Each time with both fees.
Outside of cash machines the card hardly worked anywhere as a debit card.

Why am i being robbed of $3 every month for a management fee which when i ask the question, is a fee for expired cards. My card doesnt expire until 2021!!!!!!!!!!

Devastated to find FairFX deducting €2.50 from my card as a monthly charge. According to them, if your card has expired and not been renewed they will take this charge each month until the account is at €0. Despite my cards being valid and in date they still took the charge without justification. Still in dispute with them. Disgraceful attitude!! Now have currency card with new company!!! Unable to leave a review of less than 1 star.

Had no issues drawing money out in spain. You need to pick the right ATM that don't charge you to draw money out over there. Good buy back rate compared to the travel agents. Highly recommend the fair fx card!

When it started FairFX was the best way to safely take money abroad. Now it is awful, average exchange rate followed by fees, fees, fees. Monthly fees we didn’t know about for 12months, redemption fees and of course the withdrawal fees. We found this a really expensive way of taking currency away on holiday and will never use them again. Avoid - this company is not what it was and is no longer a genuine competitor in a growing market.

I have used FairFx for five years to transfer money to my account in France. I have never had a problem. The transfers have always been fast and efficient with emails to keep me updated of the transfer process.

Loaded card which was a pain. Went to a cash machine in Spain did not recognise my pin. Re entered no luck. Went to another machine entered pin no joy machine took card? Pin blocked.
Emailed customer services abroad. Told them the story. Got an email back next day leave your email address and number. So I did. Got an email back to say card is blocked.? I know! Rang them they ask some security questions I answered and they said my reply’s were wrong. Asked for my car reg and told me it’s wrong? Had same number for 15 years. Told me I used wrong pin I’ve never changed it. So I have closed accounts. Euro and dollar and it cost to do that and the exchange rate buying back (even though it was loaded same day and not able to draw on it no good will gesture no help) is extremely poor. No help with customer services Stick to cash or use your own bank cards as they charge fees at machines anyway and lots of places in Spain are cash not card. The company used to be ok no problems but recently complacent.
