The teller in the new plymouth Branch has been extreamly helpful I have been into the branch 3 times in the last fortnight and he has been most helpful, explaining how a travelex card works, and letting me know when he would have some of the currency I required for our trip

What a hopeless system

What a hopeless system. Forget going to paper plus, the staff have no idea what they are doing. Stick with an official travelex outlet.

Very poor experience

Very poor experience. Their promotional material and in‑branch staff claim “no ATM fees”, but this is simply not true. I was charged despite their assurances, and the gap between what they advertise and what actually happens feels extremely deceptive. This kind of misleading information erodes trust, and I would not recommend them based on my experience. When we escalated this after paying around $40 in these charges we were told it’s in their terms and conditions (in very small print) which we received after the original transaction. So I guess it’s ok to claim false information, if you hide in the t’s & c’s. Please be careful when signing up for the money-cards.
