The perfect travelling companion
OVER the course of the pandemic, most of us have gotten used to the ease and convenience of online transactions and cashless payments. In fact, many people nowadays don’t carry much cash around, as cashless payments have become so commonplace.
Now with international borders gradually opening up, the ease of cashless transactions can also be extended to travelling for a hasslefree and convenient vacation.
Travelling in the new normal, you no longer need to concern yourself with carrying cash around in a foreign country, which also gives you peace of mind while enjoying your well-deserved getaway. All you need to do to complete your vacation plans and ensure a smooth and hassle-free holiday is to get the Merchantrade Money Card.
The perfect travelling companion, this Visa-enabled card not only enables travellers to conduct financial transactions digitally, it allows withdrawals from any ATM in the world.
It also offers a host of other travel-friendly transactions via the Merchantrade Money mobile app.
For one, you can buy, keep and sell up to 20 currencies in the app at zero charge, which means you need not run around looking for money changers when your local currency runs low. It also locks in exchange rates at the time you purchase foreign currencies, without being affected by the fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates.
Apart from that, the multi-currency e-wallet function gives you the ease of payment no matter where you are. The multi-currency wallet supports 20 different currencies including US Dollar, Singapore Dollar, British Pound, Australian Dollar, Indonesian Rupiah, Euro, Thai Baht, Japanese Yen, Saudi Riyal, China Renminbi, Hong Kong Dollar, South Korean Won and Indian Rupee, among others.
You can also perform online money transfers or card-to-card transfers, check your card balance, top up prepaid mobile airtime (domestic and international), and buy micro insurance.
For added security, you can manage your card settings at any time, as well as track your expenses via e-statement.
