Thomas Exchange Global Responds to Recent Reports Revealing High Charge Fees and Slow Refund Process Imposed by Prepaid Card Issuers
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 16 April 2015 -- A number of recent reports have surfaced accusing prepaid money card issuers of imposing steep fees such as loading fee, ATM fee and other charges unbeknownst to users, costing them approximately 3% more on international purchases and taking months to transact refunds. Meanwhile, more and more travelers are turning to Thomas Exchange Global Ltd for a solution, providing them with the most competitive exchange rates in the travel money market without charging a fee for commission.
Most payment card issuers based in the UK impose dubious charges for foreign transactions, as highlighted by BBC News Business reporter Chloe Hayward in an article published on February 13th– during which it was revealed that card users, “pay as much as 3% on any money you take out abroad.”
Similarly, a March 5th report by The News claimed that one overseas traveler had been struggling for over 2 months to reclaim the unused balance left on his prepaid travel card upon returning to the UK.
“All service providers levy various charges when using plastic to pay while traveling internationally. This includes any loading fees, ATM withdrawal fees, inactive fees, annual fees, in addition to many others,” commented Trevor Samuel, Senior Manager of Thomas Exchange Global Ltd.
