Should I buy cash or use a card for Polish Zloty destinations?
A Wise card at the mid-market rate outperforms all cash providers on like-for-like in card-friendly destinations. In practice, carry some cash for markets, taxis and small vendors; use Wise for restaurants, shops and larger purchases. For destinations where cash is essential, a specialist like Currency Online Group is the right choice.
What does “Travelex white-label” mean for Tesco and Sainsbury's?
Neither Tesco nor Sainsbury's operate their own travel money infrastructure. Both use Travelex as the backend for rate-setting, currency supply and fulfilment. Rates tend to be similar between the two but can differ slightly by day; compare both on this page before ordering.
