Thanks. I had a look at the cash card. Convenient I guess but the fees would seem to make it a bit more expensive then say Amex travellers cheques. Amex TCs can be cashed in fee free pretty much anywhere around the world and you can often get them commission free with a reasonable exchange rate. I didn't see any way of avoiding the ATM fee on the cash card and it looks like 1% commission when funding/topping up the card. The exchange rate given for US$ didn't seem all that good either. So it doesn't really seem cost effective compared to Amex TCs, if I'm reading it right.
Is there a better way, something like a debit card that can be denominated in in a currency of your choice, with no fees attached and a decent exchange rate. Maybe I'm asking too much.
