Travel Wallet โœˆ๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ณ

 

 

It’s common that foreign residents in Korea are restricted to use services for locals.

This time I was planning a trip to Japan and coincidentally hear about this new travel cash card.

My Travel Wallet Debit Card

โ€‹

In Korea going cashless is a second nature, the thought of dealing with physical currency during travels can be a bit daunting. Not to mention the struggle of deciphering foreign coins!

(Yes, I've been there, asking locals for coin value assistance, too!)

 


 

 

It's a bittersweet feeling, isn't it? Those leftover coins, after every trip you hate to have so many left, but at the same time they are like tiny treasures, a reminder of past adventures, and a promise of future journeys.

Promises of Convenience and Fee-Free Transactions

 

โ€‹

The Travel Wallet boasts seamless transactions and, the best part, no hidden fees! Once you've registered, a personalised Visa debit card arrives at your doorstep.

 

 

 
From Travel Wallet site, worldwide zero transaction fees

 

โ€‹

 

โ€‹

And guess what?

It's the first card I've received in Korea with my full name on it!

Talk about feeling like a true global citizen! :)
