‘Cash Passport’
pre-paid debit card

"Safety and convenience"

Ideal for day-to-day purchases over the Internet, phone or EFTPOS and to withdraw cash from foreign ATMs when travelling overseas...

Cash Passport Debit Card is a pre-paid, PIN protected card that enables you to obtain local currency from foreign ATM’s or conduct Australian and overseas EFTPOS, internet or phone purchases.

As the Cash Passport Debit 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 Product Disclosure Statement (PDF, 215KB).

We also offer:

  • our Visa Debit Card for access to funds in your Wide Bay Australia account at Wide Bay Australia branches, Australian ATM’s, Overseas ATM’s, Australian EFTPOS, Overseas EFTPOS, online, phone or mail order 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.  (As Cash Passport Cards are designed primarily for overseas ATM’s, Wide Bay does not recommend using them at Australian ATM’s#)
  • Conduct EFTPOS withdrawals overseas and in Australia. (Some stores - for example, stores belonging to the Coles Myer or Woolworths group of companies, will not accept pre-paid debit cards for EFTPOS purchases)
  • Make internet or phone purchases
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 ($US), British Pounds (GBP) and New Zealand Dollars ($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 Cash Passport now.
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.

Unlike many debit cards, your Cash Passport Debit Card is not linked to your bank account helping to reduce 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
