The Post Office is the largest provider of foreign exchange in the UK. The Post Office Travel Money Card Plus is currently available in Euros, US dollars and Sterling and allows customers to lock in the competitive exchange rate offered on the day of purchase.

The cards, which are available at more than 3,000 Post Office branches across the UK and online, will be processed centrally by FIS.

FIS Card Processing Services supports debit, credit and prepaid programs, providing the necessary messaging and integration with payments industry schemes.

Post Office’s head of cards Az Alibhai said working with FIS has enabled them to enhance the functionality of their cards and given them access to a wider range of card and customer service applications including online payments, SMS messaging and call centre services.
