Topic: Tesco travel money card
Tesco travel money card is a prepaid travel card that you can load with money for your holiday spending. It's available in a US dollar or Euro version.
It's different to a credit, charge or debit card as it's not linked to a bank account so you can't go overdrawn or spend more than you have.
You can use it to shop online, in store or over the phone every where you see the MasterCard® Acceptance Mark. Each time you use your card, the amount of your purchase is deducted from your balance. When your balance is running low, you can simply top up your card again via SMS/text, online or over the phone. Once a transaction has been authorised it cannot be stopped.
The Tesco Travel Money card does not have a credit facility, you are in control of your account through checking your balance and topping up with more money. Please note your Prepaid Card cannot be used at any merchant where authorisation for the transaction is not requested electronically.'
When applying for the card we are required to ask you for details so that we can verify your identity and address.
