ALLIANCE & LEICESTER COMMERCIAL BANK SUPPORTS NEW INDIGO TRAVELCARD

A new foreign currency Travelcard for holiday-makers and travellers is being launched by Indigosolutions in partnership with Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank. The Indigo Travelcard is free of charge, can be ordered online from www.indigotravelcard.com and can be loaded with either US Dollars or Euros.

(AllPayNews) - The card offers market-leading exchange rates for conversion into Euros and Dollars, making it a secure and cost-effective way to organise holiday money.

Indigo Travelcards work in the same way as a Visa debit card, allowing travellers easy and rapid access to their funds via ATMs, and the ability to make payments worldwide wherever the Visa brand mark is shown. The cards are not linked to a bank account and can be topped up with funds remotely through a dedicated website or via a SMS instruction. Users can request balance updates, block their card, and make card-to-card transfers – all via SMS alerts. They can also register for Daily Balance and Time for Top-up SMS alerts, ensuring they never run out of funds.

Claire Bayliss, Managing Director of Indigosolutions (UK) Ltd, says: “The Indigo Travelcard is proof of our capability within this market. The beauty of Indigo is that because we are not a huge corporate we are very quick in terms of speed to market, yet our clients are able to benefit from our trusted associations with well established industry players such as Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank whose card processing expertise is second to none.”

James Le Brocq, Director of Prepaid Cards at Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank, says: “Prepaid cards not only offer users all the benefits of a debit card but are an ideal solution for consumers who want to keep close control of their finances or who want an alternative form of payment to their usual bank account or credit card.

“The Indigo Travelcard can be of great benefit to anyone needing foreign currency, removing some of the barriers often associated with travellers cheques, lost or stolen currency or fraudulent use of credit cards when abroad.”

Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank has a team of specialists with experience in numerous industry sectors and can provide tailored prepaid card solutions for businesses in both the private and public sector.
