Pmac Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Flying out to Sydney for a 3 month holiday traveling the east coast. Not sure the best way of taking money over. Looking at buying a STA Travel card looks decent, but not sure if my bank card would be just as good, any information or experience with travel cards in Australia would be much appreciated cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Depends on your bank card, some are better than others. we use Nationwide cards and Caxton card for ATMs and spending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmac Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Currently with Santander but could look into an account with another bank, thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I got one of those Claxton cards but I had big problems loading it. I applied for a bank account before I got to Australia and then picked up my card. It's easy. You need one for wages etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lp77 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Depending when you leave, post office do a no foreign transaction fees... N and p used to do a card no fees to use as debit card.. Look on Martin Lewis site or Google. Good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
