Go to Create a Travel Wallet Card
We learned about the Travel Wallet Card. When I travel abroad, I worry a lot about how much money I should exchange. We recommend that you exchange a small amount of money and bring a travel wallet card as a subcard. There are many advantages in many ways, as the burden of fees is low, you can recharge and use only the amount you need when you run out of money, and the remaining change can be refunded. I think I can cut down on my spending by stealing the remaining foreign currency at the airport.
