Don't leave home without it
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
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.

Closed all my NAB accounts, not just Traveller Card
I used my card overseas on first occasion with no problem. On the second trip, I preloaded sufficient funds to pay for hotel accommodation. Despite the hotel and I both checking the bill was paid in the same currency as I had put on my travel card, I received a paper bank statement from the NAB 3 months later, showing the hotel charges had been deducted in a different currency.
After several phone calls to the NAB, including one that lasted 45mins, and an email on their secure network, I was finally sent a Dispute Form to submit.
I rec...Read more
eived a reply the next day saying that as the the dispute had not been submitted within a certain timeframe -75 days of the transaction - the claim was rejected. Despite my not even being aware of the error until 3 months after I returned home, in rejecting the claim I was told to "check your online transaction listing regularly or you may be liable for the loss of any disputed transaction, due to delays in notifying the NAB". In total I have paid over $150 in "currency transaction fees", when I should have been charged none. I also had the equivalent of nearly AUD1000 in a foreign currency on my travel card that I will never use, because the NAB took funds from the wrong currency on my card. So I did the only option then available to me, and closed ALL of my NAB accounts.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Don’t let hotels use for “holding deposits” !!
any holding deposit taken by hotels / car rentals / etc, stays held for 31 DAYS. Even if unheld by the hotel.
My euros were held till well past end of vacation.
Useless

Great for travelling abroad
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!!!
Just got a new Nab travellers card, deposited $50 in order to open the account, ok fine. The are two rates when converting currencies. Loading rates (putting money on card) and offloading rates (transferring money off card). There is only a 4% fee if the card is NOT using a supported currency. In my case there are zero fees when converting and transfering EURO to AUD and vice versa. Now here's the shifty crap that nab does to rip you off! They determine they’re own rates and the offloading (selling rate) will always give you less money back the...Read more
n the actual current selling rate! meaning you get less money then what the current value is worth! HMMM…I wonder were the missing money goes, well NAB? The current offloading rate as of writing this review determined by Nab is 1 EUR 0.66396 = 1 AUD and converts to $45.11 AUD determined by NAB! The actual currency conversion is 1 EUR = 1.58177 AUD and convert to $47.37 AUD. THIEVES! just outright stealing!!! Keep in mind I have zero fees for converting and transferring currencies! Spoke with Travel Card Provider, they told me Nabs rates are completely determined by Nab! time to find a better Bank!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Staff lied. Paid conversion to load and conversion to withdraw cash.
Was told by NAB staff these cards are great, sold! But withdrew cash in Europe from an ATM, as directed by the NAB staff and was slugged another conversion fee from Aus$ to Euro when the account already had only Euro on it. Not happy.

Don't do it.....
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.

Lack of security on NAB travel card
Last year used the card successfully in the UK. When visiting Lisbon my wallet was stolen containing my travel card and driver's licence. By the time I cancelled the card (about 2 hours later) over $1000 had been withdrawn from the account. Thieves obviously had access to my PIN as there were no false starts. Turns out all they had to do was ring Customer Service, punch in the travel card number and my date of birth (which was on my licence) and the PIN was automatically relayed to them! Finally got money back when I went through the Financial ...Read more
Ombudsman. NAB originally rejected my application. Specifically asked NAB that the security be improved on these cards. Just checked again today, and same automated system in place. Security should not be optional. Pickpockets must be rejoicing!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Still waiting for my online traveller card to be available..and waiting...
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
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
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?????
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
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.
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
I used the NAB Traveller card for my recent backpacking trip around Europe and the UK. It worked well in Europe, didn’t have any issues which machines rejecting it and I could use it to make purchases online (museum tickets, bus tickets etc). However, in the UK the card was never accepted for online payments, it would always say ‘card declined’ which was extremely inconvenient when trying to book accomodation in advance, and meant I had to use my regular debit card and risk fees . My biggest issue with the card though is that the NAB app NEVER ...Read more
let me access my transaction history. Every single time I tried to view it, a message would pop up saying “We can’t receive your transaction history. Give it a minute and have another go”. Which I would, and then the same message would appear. So for 6 months of travelling I had no way of checking the correct money was coming out, if I was getting charged fees etc which is really terrible. I would definitely get a different card through another bank next time I travel.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Don't use NAB Card!
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.

Has anyone had their card stolen while in Europe
1 answer
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.
