Can you put US dollars on a card?

Yes you can place US dollars on a prepaid travel card or you can have your debit account linked to currency accounts like with Wise, HSBC and Citibank. Most prepaid travel cards (Australia Post, Travelex, Travel Money Oz and Cash Passport) have hefty fees including initial card, loading, reloading, inactivity and ATM fees so while they are handy, there are cheaper alternatives on the market.
