Travel card for all seasons

UK HOLIDAYMAKERS can now forget about foreign exchange rates, avoid hidden card charges & currency buy-back fees and spend in any local currency knowing the precise cost in sterling, thanks to Seasons, a Visa prepaid debit travel card, digital account & mobile app launched by European e-Money company, Contis. 

Seasons is designed to make the business of taking and spending money abroad much easier. Holiday money loaded onto the Seasons online account is held in sterling and is converted as each transaction is made, using competitive FX rates. 

It removes the need to convert pounds before travelling abroad.

Holidaymakers can manage their money on the move via the Seasons mobile app and online account, tracking their transactions and total spend in real time and in pounds.

By doing away with the need for holidaymakers to purchase large sums of local currency, Seasons eliminates the risk of over- or under-estimating the amounts of each currency that will be needed for each trip and, as a result, avoids triggering more charges, either to buy more currency, or to buy-back sterling at the end of the trip. Seasons levies a 1% transaction fee in the Euro zone, or 1.5% in any other Visa-accepting country worldwide.

‘Consumers are fed up of feeling like they're being duped by hidden fees, inflated FX rates and currency buy-back charges,’ says Jenny Whiteside, product manager of Seasons. 

‘Too many holidaymakers are dogged by costly and inconvenient travel cards. Some have to get different cards for different currencies. Others have to dispose of existing cards and re-apply for each trip in order to avoid additional fees. Many others have fiddly systems for managing multiple currencies on a single card, with high FX conversion rates as you move money between currencies. Seasons cardholders can simply add pounds to their card and go wherever they want.’
