Re: Pre Paid Credit Card For A Holiday In USA

The caxtonfx is a mastercard, more info at exchange rate - currency exchange - foreign exchange - Caxton FX

From the website -

no commission, no transfer fees

Unlike your bank and other currency providers, we do not charge anything for transferring your funds worldwide - nor do we take any commissions for exchanging your money.

The rate we quote is the rate you get - it's as simple as that!

how do we do it?

We trade millions - this enables us to buy at best market rates and can offer these savings to you. We simply make our money on the difference between the price at which we buy the currency and the price at which we sell to you. What's more, following our major investment in technology, our systems are super-efficient which allows us to pass savings on to our clients.

It is worth noting that although we do not charge transfer fees, it takes no longer to receive your money - we transfer payments using same-day international systems.

The rates are pretty good as well -
