Don't leave home without it

published

The first time I used the card was in the Netherlands at a Burger King. No problem. I used it extensively in Paris . Never had a problem shopping,buying food of train tickets. Used it in London not an issue. I used again in New York, bought lunch at the airport in Charlotte and used extensively again in New Orleans.

Not good at all

published

A transaction of US$830 was declined but the money was deducted from my account. It also takes ages to get the deposits from hotel back (I haven't got mine yet, and according to online comments, it takes 30 days). You need to learn all these things before using the traveler card. Otherwise, you will be ripped off.

Great for travelling abroad

published

Obtained the NAB travel card as it doesn't have any NAB related ATM fees attached to it and seemed simple enough to use. Travelled to Spain and got money out with ease at both Deutsche Bank and Bankia with 0 local ATM fees, also used it in a few shops no worries.. Will definitely be using the card again in future (as it takes 5 years to expire). The exchange rate I received for buying euros was also the same as purchasing cash.

Total scam, will rip you off with inaccurate loading and offloading rates!!!

published

Staff lied. Paid conversion to load and conversion to withdraw cash.

published

Was told by NAB staff these cards are great, sold! But withdrew cash in Europe from an ATM, as directed by the NAB staff and was slugged another conversion fee from Aus$ to Euro when the account already had only Euro on it. Not happy.

Don't do it.....

published

I got a travelcard with the Nab and transferred $1,000 from my account onto it and it was rejected due to some issue with their system and they took my money anyway and didn't load it to the travelcard. After contacting the NAB I was told it would take 2-3 working days to refund the money into my bank when i was leaving the country in a day. I was too scared to load anymore onto it and just got generic responses from the NAB. This is exactly why the Government needs to do an enquiry into the banking system. They are just crooks.

Still waiting for my online traveller card to be available..and waiting...

published

Have used this card on and off for the past 2 years. Does always seem to have troubles, never a smooth ride. When I go to topup the card online while travelling the message often comes up as NAB Smart Traveller Card currently not available, please try again later. So am waiting, and waiting to top-up, unbelievable. It's touch and go whether the service is actually going to be available for you - way to go NAB. Can't go out and do the things I planned. And no, its not my internet coverage, it is the NAB internet banking. NAB needs to get smarter and own up to their Smart card title. Also if you go to a NAB bank to check on which banks overseas don't charge fees to withdraw cash, nobody ever seems to know.

Wanted one for my daughter, teller says No

published

I have happily used one of these before for my daughter. This time I was told no you cannot do that. You cannot authorise someone else to use your travel card. You will not be covered for insurance.
These don't even have a persons name on it. Even when I said I wanted one anyway they refused to take my application.
If you need a travel card for your child, NAB will not give you one.

A Joke Card

published

I have had one of these cards for a few years - it is fraught with problems. The software is useless, the helpline (in the Phillippines) is useless. My theory is it is a simple way of holding customers funds in foreign currencies, make a swag out of trading, and make the card very difficult to use - what a bonanza. Nab should be shamed of themselves.

Where is the money I transferred?????

published

I was told that when I transferred money from my NAB everyday account to my traveller card it was instant, however when I transferred money it didn't go onto my card. The money came out of my account and that's it. I've spent an hour on the phone and guess what everyone can see that I transferred the money but no one knows why it isn't on my card or when it will get there. Still waiting for a call back to advise where my money is. I am going to cancel this account asap.

Completely useless

published

Doesn’t work, claims to be the same as a normal credit card but cannot be used for online transactions (declined, but it charges you anyway!). And no support from NAB. Exchange rates are also terrible.

I was ripped off and no help to rectify.

published

I paid for the exchange of dollars to euros and when I was overseas withdrawing cash, the ATM’s continued to charge a conversion fee from dollars to Euros, so I paid double conversion fee on everything.

Not the best

Don't use NAB Card!

published

It's actually run by a company completely separate to the NAB!! Not able to verify credit transfers onto the card. We had 2 x transactions that were declined - yes, declined - yet still the charges appeared on the statement as withdrawals which overdrew us on funds which meant we couldn't use it! What's the point? We may as well have just used our normal credit card. And, apparently, the charges that were declined will be reversed - in about a week or so (fingers crossed!!). So bad.

Robbing us blind!

Has anyone had their card stolen while in Europe

Yes. I have had both cards stolen in Rome Italy in 2015. With one phone call to their toll free number, stolen NAB Traveller Cards were replaced and sent direct by courier within 24 hours. They were waiting for us on arrival at our next hotel in Italy with cash loaded ready to go! See our separate review for details.

Barrie S.asked

Has anyone had the worst experience of having a Nab Traveller Card stolen while in Europe and also the thief withdrawing all funds from the card from an ATM without the PIN number being with the card? Need help because Nab claims that no money can be withdrawn unless a pin number is used.

Thanking you.
