In what currency is Visa® Prepaid Card issued?
We offer the Visa® Prepaid Card in US Dollars (USD) and Canadian Dollars (CAD). We also offer Mastercard Prepaid Card in Euros (EUR) and British Pounds (GBP). All Visa® and Mastercard Prepaid Cards work in an identical fashion. Purchases are made in the local currency and automatically converted to the currency of issue.
How does currency conversion work?
Visa® and Mastercard Prepaid Cards automatically handle the currency conversion when purchases are made in a currency different from the currency in which the prepaid card was issued.
For example, if a Visa issued in USD is sent to a recipient in Spain, that recipient can make purchases in Euros. The purchases are automatically converted to USD and charged to the prepaid card.
A 2% transaction fee may be applied if the merchant settles the purchase transaction in a currency different from issuing currency. This fee is included in the final purchase charge applied to the Visa® or Mastercard prepaid card.
Are there expiration dates?
Yes. Recipients have to sign up for a digital wallet and access their Prepaid Card. After that, recipients have several months to spend the balance on the prepaid card. Log into your Rybbon account to see expiration dates for each type of prepaid card.
