Hullo
Got this as a back and thankfully it wasn't my source of funding our trip through mainland Europe. To cut a long story short here is my experience of the Post Office Travel Money Card.
o Purchased card in Worcester Post Office. Produce both parts of UK Driving Licence and Passport as ID. Clerk only wanted to view paper part of driving licence. Got card and some cash.
o Several weeks later my family contact me while I am in France to tell me that the Post Office have been in touch and want Photo ID or they will stop my card by late November while I am abroad. This is just in case I am a money launderer.
o I email Post Office and complain who eventually reply but as you would expect it is not a satisfactory response.
o Now in Spain I have to fax off the documentation that they originally declined to view using up an entire morning and some of my money.
o I am of the opinion that the Post Office MAY have breached anti money laundering legislation and I am currently in the process of informing the Worcester Police of events.
I think it’s safe to say that I would NOT recommend the Post Office Travel Money Card to anyone.
Watch this space for updates,
PS. We've not been on for while but will catch up soon.
