Frequently asked questions
What does Currensea cost each month?+
Currensea charges monthly fees of £0, which means keeping the account open costs free. Currency conversion fees run 0.5% on spending in other currencies. Free ATM withdrawals run to £200, after which charges linked to your plan may apply within stated limits.
Is Currensea regulated and safe to use?+
Currensea Limited operates as Currensea Limited based in the United Kingdom. It is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority under 843507. That authorisation sets standards for how client funds and card services are managed and supervised.
How do foreign currency payments work?+
Currency conversion fees run 0.5% when you spend in another currency. The card supports use across 180 through multi currency and travel. That structure suits card payments abroad where conversion happens at the point of sale during travel.
How much cash can be withdrawn free of charge?+
Free ATM withdrawals run to £200 under the stated allowance. The card is debit on Mastercard, so cash access depends on machine availability abroad. Withdrawals above the allowance may carry added charges under plan terms.
What type of card is it and where is it accepted?+
The card is debit on Mastercard, linked for travel and multi-currency use through multi currency and travel. It draws on funds held with your bank rather than a separate balance. Acceptance follows usual Mastercard acceptance at shops, online checkouts and cash machines.
How can cardholders get help when needed?+
Support is available through email, phone and help centre, covering written queries, calls and self help guides. That range helps with card blocks, transaction queries and account administration. Availability and response times vary by channel and by nature of the request raised.
Who is Currensea designed for?+
Currensea is aimed at business use through business, including staff travel and overseas purchases. Founded in 2020, it suits firms wanting foreign spending without opening another bank account. Personal users seeking everyday household spending may find other cards more fitting.
