June 2010 - Travelex Cash Passport issued by Metropolitan Bank

May 2010 - Metropolitan Bank in partnership with Travelex

We are pleased to announce that we have entered into a partnership with Travelex to issue the USD denominated Cash Passport Card.  The Cash Passport card is a Visa Electron card and is the modern day version of Travellers Cheques.  It enables people who are travelling outside Zimbabwe to travel with funds for their trip in a secure and modern fashion.  Simply come into any of our branches 48 hours before you travel and fill in an application form - load up a minimum of US$100.00 up to a maximum of US$10,000.00.  When you travel your funds will be activated on your card.  The card can be used to withdraw cash at over 1,3 million Visa ATMs worldwide and you can swipe for goods and services at millions of POS machines where the Visa Electron logo is displayed. 

The benefits of using the card is the security of your funds- you will not be carrying cash.  The use of the card at ATMs and POS machines requires a PIN number and a signature.  In the event your card is stolen or lost it can be stopped and a replacement card issued to you whereever you are in the world.
