Using your Currensea card

Don't buy Riyals, use Currensea

Currensea is the UK's number 1 direct debit travel card. Simply spend abroad as you do at home, the money will be collected from your existing bank account by direct debit and we remove the bank fees too!

Currensea has no hidden fees such as weekend charges or dormant card fees and our rates are lower than your high street bank, the Post Office and any prepaid travel card.

You can also take out up to £500 from an ATM fee-free, so there's no need to change money before you go.

Plus, our free card takes minutes to sign up.
