 Travel worry-free abroad                              

The EastWest Travel Money gives you all these benefits for you to enjoy your travel abroad*:

Multi-currency. Load up to six different currencies in just one card - US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Hong Kong Dollar, Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen.

Convenient. Pay off your purchases cashless through Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals from all VISA-affiliated merchants abroad regardless of the currencies you loaded.

Secure. Your card is not linked to any of your bank accounts. Plus, your signature is required in order to make purchases using your card.

Locked-in exchange rates. Your exchange rate is locked-in for the currencies you have loaded. No need to worry about fluctuating exchange rates or to look for money exchange counter to give you the best deal on your rates. You can also withdraw in local currencies from all VISA-affiliated ATMs abroad.

No worries on lost card. Worry no more about losing access to your funds while abroad as this comes with a companion card which you may use as an emergency card if you lose your primary card.

Easy-to-manage. Keep track of your load balances, view transaction details, change PIN and lock/unlock cards by logging in at www.travelmoney.eastwestbanker.com.

Practical. No need to open a Foreign Currency Denominated Account.

Economical. No foreign currency conversion fees, annual fees, maintaining balance requirement, high initial deposit requirement, dormancy fees and other finance charges your usual card or travelers' cheques may charge you.

 Unlimited Use & Global Recognition              

The EastWest Travel Money provides you with a convenient way to carry your money and make purchases without the bulky cash. With over 30 million VISA-affiliated establishments and 350,000 online merchants worldwide, your cashless shopping options are virtually limitless.

 

You have the option to load your card with just one currency or a maximum of six different currencies. The same currency as your purchase will be debited. If the currency wallet is not sufficient for that purchase, the following hierarchy of debits will be used: US Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Hong Kong Dollar, Australian Dollar and Japanese Yen.

Scenario 1:

You loaded US$1,500 and £1,000 into your EastWest Travel Money for your US and London trips. You purchased an item worth US$150 while in the US. As such, your US Dollar load will be debited because of the transaction. Moving to London, you made purchases worth £550. The said transaction amount will automatically be debited from your British Pound load balance.

Scenario 2:

After purchasing an item worth £550, your British Pound load balance is down to £450. You are going to make another payment of £550. Since you do not have enough British Pound in your card to cover the amount, the transaction will be converted to US$ at the prevailing rate. The corresponding amount will be debited from your US Dollar wallet.

Scenario 3:

From London, you had a short trip to Abu Dhabi. While in Abu Dhabi, you can still make purchases or withdraw from ATMs even if you do not have Dirham loaded in your card. The amount will be debited from the currency in your card that has enough balance to cover the transaction when converted at the prevailing rate.
