The collapse of the Exchange Crown Currency, a provider of cash travel in Cornwall, is increasingly in the media. Who are the currency, the krona to the collapse of other money worries provider customers online travel?

Stephen Heath, Managing Director of prepaid cards, currency specialist FairFX.com (www.fairfx.com) said: A is the travel money market square there are 4 ways that people go abroad?. They are: –

1) Cash Journey? either a change in Office purchased or mailed

2) travelers checks? lower volumes and very â? old economy “?

3) a prepaid card? rapid growth of the market (including FairFX $ £ € and wherever the cards)

4) The credit euros and debit cards? Just a card spending in pounds sterling and to drop charges of conversion

? Crown was created in the first category, â? Travel to Cash? and in this relatively unique. Crown offered money for the trip as you travel now paid in advance and received the foreign currency at a certain time (up to 9 months later) in the future.

? Crown? s got the best price was more in the future the consumer to purchase. It’s like a â? Forward? Contract in the foreign exchange market, although the prices obtained, the crown was offered for longer maturities future delivery were attractive as a surprise to consumers.

? It is this peculiarity of the Crown, which helped them to be able to get into a position with 20 million pounds due to the delivery of only £ 3,000,000 of cash as long as the orders came in they could for their meet immediate obligations.

? The vast majority of providers of cash travel does not fall into this category and the exchange of cash in exchange office or overnight delivery in the post and as such there is less risk of other suppliers are experiencing this problem and if it does then very few customers would be made to happen, because the transaction is to be one? daya same ????.

It seems that the events serve to highlight the Crown as one of the attractions of a prepaid card is a better way to travel money.

Heath added: More Travel money cards, including FairFX (www.fairfx.com), are in fact from Newcastle Building Society (NBS) and the finance charge card issued immediately credited to the NBS in order? cardholder. NBS is a well-capitalized “mutual” Building Society. As such, under the Act on NBS construction companies from 1986 to the end of 2003, as amended, and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (known as the FSA).

? Under the provisions of the Act, a company called Building Society that if a being? its purpose or primary purpose is making loans secured by residential real estate and finance most of its> ????.

? The law goes further and provides that at least 50% of funds collected from a depot Building Society members raised. In this regard, building societies are much more conservative than the banks and therefore less risky.

? Therefore, it is running in the unlikely event of NBS in financial difficulties, to protect the money. Indeed, NBS said herself that she is able to take the safety of all prepaid credit cards that money altogether in a separate account that would not even involved in the case of association with the financial security Difficulty . â? ?
