Upcoming trip? Here's why you should use a prepaid Mastercard for travel purchases
Rounding it up
Prepaid cards are the way to go when travelling for many reasons. Since you’re working with a preloaded amount, you control how much you spend while planning for and during your trip.
The KOHO prepaid Mastercard offers extra perks, like instant cash back on every purchase.
With your KOHO virtual card, you also have peace of mind knowing there’s an extra layer of security when booking flights and accommodations online.
Plus, Mastercard is accepted by tens of millions of merchants in over 200 countries. In other words, there’s less of a need to carry around local cash when you’re out and about.
