Furthermore, the customers can load and reload their Travelex Money Card withing 15 currencies in the UK and 10 in Australia, freeze and unfreeze their card when they are not travelling, view their pin and details if they need a reminder or if they need them for certain transactions, and search for flights, stays and other travel details, featured provided by Kayak.
