about 9 days ago, I deposited money to top up my cash passport card. This money has still not appeared, and I have received no satisfactory explanation from cash passport! I am VERY disappointed.

Shocking service, i closed my account then 18 months later got a bill for account inactivity??? They don't send monthly/quarterly or even yearly statements, so be warned, another con to make them money AVOID AT ALL COSTS

NEVER AGAIN! I would not advise any sane person to use this service, my card got swallowed on my first day in Zante leaving me with no cash, when I phoned emergency services - rip off cll charges from Greece i was told i could get a same day western union transfer to nearest post office but i didn't have any money to take a cab to the post office which was too far to walk so I opted for the next day replacement card and borrowed money from a friend to last me the day. That was Wednesday morning- my replacement card was eventually delivered SATURDAY EVENING!! now i am having to fight tooth and nail to get my money back that is on the card. Avoid Avoid Avoid Avoid!!!!!!

Avoid these cards at all cost!!!!!. Everything is fine until something goes wrong then the problems start. Their security is flawed. My cards were hacked in Thailand. When you approach their claims people the problems start. First if they suspect fraud they close the card leaving you stranded with no cash. When you ask them to open the card they say the card is suspect therefore if anymore money is lost it is your problem. Since their security is flawed anytime you use the card it might be hacked so you cannot rely on this card when travelling period. When you go to claim your money back they tell you to prove you did not take the money yourself. Since you cannot prove a negative they hold you liable. What has actually occured is that previously when traveler's cheques were in vogue, these companies lost alot of money so now they have found a clever way of making the customer pay for problems in their security arrangements. I would rate these card with a black death star if I could. You are better off petting a Bubonic Plague Infested Rat then hold these cards.
