CURRENCY CARD
Unite all your existing payment cards into one card & app, accepted everywhere. this card eliminates all your roaming fees. it charges 1% above the currency exchange base rate. this compares to an average of 3% from banks. the app is great as it give you real time transaction updates. it has pause feature on the card to stop unauthorised transactions while not in use. this card is invaluable to me to fight fraud.

i stumbled across this website while reading an article forbes magazine. this website give you the ability to create burner debit cards for online purchases and subscriptions. they charge no visible fee's for the service. I use it to pay for online transactions and telephone payment services were my bank card number could be compromised. you can set charge limits & and use a any address for your billing address. this service is great for international online transactions as the cards are never declined. it is linked to your bank account and all charges are in $.
