Who doesn’t love to travel? You learn about the world and other cultures, you meet new people, you make wonderful memories, you practice your language skills and take amazing selfies.

The problem is, even though travelling should be a time to relax and connect with our inner selves, sometimes it can get as stressful as everyday life.

Whether you’re on vacation, living abroad or doing a business trip; you will have to deal with organization, planning, maybe homesickness, and the most common of all: budget limitations. Specially if you have a tight budget, overspending will be a big concern during your experience abroad and may get in the way of you enjoying the trip at all.

How can you save money?

Organize your itinerary carefully. When, where, what; just so you get a general idea.

Set a budget and stick to it. You can set a budget per day, per week or per trip.

Stay away from touristy areas and tourist traps.

Cook more, walk more, do research on free deals and activities.

Avoid fees!

Here’s what we can do for you

When GLOBCOIN was created, global nomads and travellers were one of the first communities in our mind. We want to create a currency for global citizens like you, so you don’t have to deal with the stress of using different currencies in different countries and those crazy exchange rates. We will use super stable currency baskets, which you can access using our special platform.

If you’re one of the lucky holders of our prepaid multi-currency Mastercard, then you will be able to save, pay and withdraw money in several currencies, for free, with no hidden fees or commision. It is the perfect solution for anyone looking to save money when travelling or sending money abroad.

As it’s a prepaid card, you can control your budget by adding the exact amount you wish to spend. And you can keep track of your budget by accessing your account 24/7 on the website or the app from anywhere in the world.

Remember it’s completely free! We apply no foreign exchange commission and there are no hidden fees.

You can use your card in any Mastercard ATM in the World. The first withdrawal of the month is free, then you only pay 1.50 euro per ATM withdrawal within the SEPA area.

With your Globcoin IBAN, you easily can send and receive money in different currencies at the best rate.
