We're here for Transport Workers
At TMCU we can offer you a comprehensive range of products and services to take care of all your foreign exchange needs
It is recommended that you always take more than one type of payment - some local cash, a Cash Passport Card, and a credit or a debit card. That way, if you have difficulty with any of your products (e.g. your credit card is not accepted or the magnetic stripe is damaged), you will have an alternative payment method. Use a Cash Passport card for your day to day expenses, and a credit or debit card for major purchases.
As a basic rule of thumb, if your destination has a good ATM network, take most of your travel funds on a Cash Passport card. Cash Passport is ideal for most tourist destinations, including the UK and Europe, USA, Canada, South East Asia, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.
