International Currency Exchange (ICE) is one of the world’s leading providers of retail Bureau de Change and online foreign exchange services.
The company started life based in London Victoria Railway Station and now, over 40 years on, ICE is one of the largest retail currency exchange operators in the world, with over 400 branches throughout Europe, the United States, Canada, Mexico, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia.
Read on to find out more about what ICE has to offer, and whether you should get your travel money through them before you go abroad.
Here’s a list of the four services offered by ICE:
Here’s a list of some of the main currencies that are available with ICE:
For your security as well as WeSwap’s, there are some limits on how much you can load onto your WeSwap card – and how much you can carry on your card at once.
Minimum you can order: £100.
Maximum you can order: £7,500.
Maximum on a Currency Card: £5,000. (£10,000 in a year.)
Perhaps the biggest downfall of ICE is the fact that you have to wait for your order to arrive. This takes 3-5 days.
ICE can be a great option if you’re planning a trip in advance, but less convenient for those who forget their travel money and need a quick solution just before they jet off.
All customer information is authenticated before being sent to a secure computer server. The encryption process takes the characters you enter on your PC and converts them into code that is then securely transmitted via the Internet.
Only the secure server can read this data. ICE then run a data integrity test to ensure that any data sent has been transferred successfully and has not been tampered with. Our processes ensure that any personal information remains personal.
It’s a good idea to withdraw larger amounts less often. (This is a general rule of thumb for all travel money providers!)
