A new
credit card from
Halifax could help holidaymakers save money while they are on
their travels.
The firm's Clarity card will not charge a
foreign exchange fee on any transaction or a cash withdrawal
fee when used abroad, meaning savings for anyone leaving British
shores.
Other benefits of the card include no
balance transfer fee and no annual fee, while a rate of 12.9
per cent APR applies to all transactions including purchases,
balance transfers and cash withdrawals.
Mark Powys of
Halifax Credit Cards said: Our research shows that three
quarters of holidaymakers would be more likely to use
a credit card abroad if they knew they wouldn't incur any
fees.
The Halifax Clarity card is the best value option for
customers planning their
holiday budget, and with no cash fees and a single low rate
however you use the card it's a winner at home too.
Another way in which holidaymakers can save money is to use
prepaid cards, which not only provide an alternative to
travellers' cheques, but can also help to cut costs on budget
airline flights .
