The company behind it
Travelex operates foreign currency exchange in NZ through online ordering with collection at stores and airport locations. The business presents itself under the Travelex name and refers to activity in NZ and the wider region. The Travelex Money Card is issued by Travelex Card Services Limited, which belongs to the Travelex group. The card operation sits within that group structure alongside the retail exchange network used by outbound travellers.
How your money is protected
Online orders lock the applicable exchange rate at the time of ordering, which protects travellers from later movement before collection. In store rates vary from online rates and can change through the day, so the locked online rate defines the exchange. A Product Disclosure Statement is available and travellers are asked to consider suitability before acquiring or continuing use.
