‘Cash Passport’
pre-paid ATM card
Cash Passport ATM Card is a pre-paid, PIN protected card that enables you to obtain local currency from foreign ATM’s – in effect a plastic travellers cheque.
As the Cash Passport ATM Card is not linked to your bank account, you also reduce the risk of loss due to fraud. However, as the card is a stand-a-lone facility, a fee of 1% of the value of the amount transferred (upon initial purchase or reload) will be levied. Other fees and charges will also apply - details are contained in the Terms & Conditions (PDF, 576KB).
We also offer:
- the pre-paid Cash Passport Debit Card which has the additional benefits of also being able to be used for both Australian and overseas EFTPOS, internet or phone purchases;
- our Cashcard for access to funds in your Wide Bay account at Australian ATM's, EFTPOS and Bank@Post outlets; or
- Wide Bay Australia Credit Cards.
| Acceptance |
|
Withdraw local currency from over 1 million VISA and PLUS ATM’s around the world - 24 hours a day - with no withdrawal limits. This card can’t be used for EFTPOS or internet/phone purchases. (As Cash Passport Cards are designed primarily for overseas ATM’s, Wide Bay does not recommend using them at Australian ATM’s #) |
| Choice of $ Amount |
|
Purchase any amount from $250 to $25,000 and we load that amount onto your card. |
| Choice of Currency |
|
Choose between cards loaded in Australian Dollars
($AUD); Euros (EUR), United States Dollars ($US), British Pounds
(GBP), Hong Kong Dollars (HKD), Singapore Dollars (SGD) and New Zealand Dollars ($NZD). Foreign Currency Cash Passports
have the exchange rate "locked
in" from the date of purchase while the exchange rate
on AUD Cash Passport’s will reflect the actual rate at the
time transactions are performed overseas. |
| Reloadable |
|
Reload again and again! If you’re running short of money you can have additional funds added by someone back home. They can contact a branch or you can reload from anywhere in the world using BPAY® via phone, internet banking or branch. Reload

| No Credit Rating required |
|
You don’t need a credit rating to apply – that’s great if you are under 18 or don’t qualify for a credit card. |
| No Bank Account required |
|
You don't need to be a Wide Bay Australia accountholder to
apply. |
|
Added Security |
|
No value is kept on the card – so if a card is lost or stolen,
no-one can access your money (provided the PIN remains secret). Your
card is not linked to your bank account which also reduces
your exposure to loss. |
| Second Card Free |
|
For added convenience, you will receive a second free Cash Passport card. This operates on the same pool of funds. You can carry this separately – so even if one is stolen – you can cancel it but still access your funds through your other card. You and your partner may decide to carry one each for convenience. |
| Access to Emergency Funds |
|
If both cards are lost or stolen, Travelex will
arrange for access to your funds within 1 hour - anywhere in the world. |
| Manage Card On-line |
|
Access your Cash Passport balance and statement or change your PIN on-line. |
| 24 Hour Support |
|
In case your card is lost or stolen, you forget your PIN or you need Emergency Assistance. |
| Unspent Funds |
|
Use any unspent funds on your next trip, withdraw the balance
from any Visa or Plus ATM or encash your card at any Wide
Bay Australia branch |
