Mastercard Curency Card

[Margaret S]

I have one of these issued by Thomas Cook. I top it up on line in sterling and that is converted to USD. It was very easy to use in Belize at a small town where the banks issued local currency from ATMs. It is not a credit card but does have the Mastercard logo. It is PIN protected and offers a service of replacement card & funds if stolen. It means I do not need to take a lot of currency and only draw what I need so do not have to lose out changing it back when I get home. I have asked around here and with my holiday company and no one seems to think my card will work in Tobago. What do you think?
thanks

Hi Margaret

Welcome aboard!

If the card carries the MasterCard logo (or VISA), then it should work in any of the VISA/MasterCard affiliated ATM's, pretty much anywhere in the world. So, I wouldn't envisage any problem on Tobago.

Just to say I used my card today with no problem in a local ATM at Crowne Point
