Save money when you spend with our Travel Card from Currensea

Since 2022, we have been a proud partner with Currensea, the free to use direct debit travel card that gives back with our very own Rafiki Thabo branded Currensea card!

Currensea is a Debit Card that works with your existing high street bank account – just like your normal bank debit card, but better.

Whenever you spend in foreign currency, whether that’s online shopping or travelling abroad, your bank will typically charge 3-5% in fees. Your new Rafiki Thabo debit card removes the bank fees. Some or all of those savings can automatically be donated back to us. You decide how much.

Your Rafiki Thabo debit card also gives you a better exchange rate than the banks, the high street or top-up travel cards.

Get access to the best FX rates at only 0.5% above the base rate and with no fees or charges, the free Essential plan saves you at least 85% on every transaction. Or save even more with the Premium and Elite plans with 0% mark up and 100% saving against the banks.

You are also able to round up your spending in the UK to the nearest 5 or 10p. Automatically donate pennies and watch as they turn into pounds. Pounds which will make an enormous difference to the young people Rafiki Thabo supports in Kenya, Uganda and Lesotho!

It is super convenient with no new bank account needed, no need to top-up and no need to pre-pay.

“We are delighted to be supporting the Rafiki Thabo Foundation. As we look to give more travellers in the UK the chance to save money, it is really important to Currensea to allow them to also give back to causes they are passionate about! Rafiki Thabo is a charity run by passionate individuals who are making a difference and this really resonates with Currensea. We are excited to see how we can help them continue to make life-changing differences to amazing individuals and communities in Kenya, Lesotho and Uganda.”

Sign up now and show your support of Rafiki Thabo Foundation with your branded card at home and abroad!
