Rand Travel Card

The safe and convenient way to manage your travel spend in South Africa

This card is specifically designed for foreign visitors who are looking for a safe way to manage their cash in South Africa. There is no risk of carrying cash and, best of all, you do not need a passport to draw forex from it. Drawing cash is not restricted to banking hours and, because it’s pre-loaded, you determine your spending limit. If your card is lost, unlike cash, it can be cancelled and replaced.
  • Currency is pre-loaded to minimise risk of overspending
  • Exchange rate is fixed at the time currency is loaded to combat exchange rate fluctuations
  • PIN and signature protected for enhanced security
  • FREE cash withdrawals at all Bidvest Bank ATMs
  • 24/7 ATM withdrawal functionality at all ATMs in South Africa that display the Visa sign.
  • Debit card functionality at all Visa merchants allows you to transact anywhere in South Africa
  • Pay for fuel at BP, Shell and Caltex petrol stations
  • 24 hour support for lost / stolen cards
  • Cash out your Rands into the currency of your choice on departure from South Africa at any Bidvest Bank/Rennies Foreign Exchange branch.
Note: Car rental companies do not accept debit cards as a form of payment and hotels will reserve funds on a debit card if it is used as payment for accommodation.
