### 1/5 — Pelikin money

*2026-01-21, version 2.6.2*

The card worked well until 3 days ago, it no longer works and I have tried many email addresses with no response.
There seems to be no help or support.

### 5/5 — How’d I travel without it?

*2025-09-01, version 2.6.2*

Took Pelikin to Asia and honestly don’t know how I’d managed my previous trips without it. Easy to load money, pay in local currency, and keep track of what I’m spending.

### 5/5 — Travel card

*2025-08-23, version 2.6.2*

Great Travel card

### 3/5 — Customer service

*2025-01-13, version 2.5.6*

The customer service is non existent

### 1/5 — Customer Service is non existent

*2024-08-21, version 2.5.5*

It’s now been over 8 weeks since I visited the Morrisons UK service station, had trouble with the process & decided to not fill up but my £100 has not reappeared in my account & is still listed as “pending” in transactions. Also the app will not allow me to change my home address.

### 1/5 — Not enough information/help

*2024-05-31, version 2.5.3*

So confused about how this card works. How to order a card - it’s asking me to enter my card number when I don’t know what it is. 
Also want a card for my daughter but I can’t work out how to do this.

### 1/5 — The worst app ever

*2024-05-16, version 2.5.3*

How can I load my own Visa card and I can’t used it for payment you have 24hours to refund my money back or I will sue you,that is really madness

### 1/5 — Money not going in

*2024-03-26, version 2.5.3*

Sent money from my personal account to Pelikin account and has not gone through

### 5/5 — So handy to use

*2023-09-24, version 2.5.0*

What I really liked about Pelikin was the easy way of transferring money from one currency to another when travelling recently overseas. I had loaded it up prior to leaving with the currencies of the countries we had visiting. Apart from one initial problem of not having the card verified initially which was easily and promptly solved when I contacted them, it has worked well. I was able to shift money between countries when we left one and I had some money left. I also reloaded it while overseas which worked well. The pin was useful. Once or twice I had to sign, but that happened only towards the end of our trip in Singapore, but then the pin worked again well. Have used it here in Australia since returning home successfully. Going to advise my sister-in- law to get one for her trip next year. Bright green colour great because it was easily identifiable. Will keep using it. Thanks for your support.

### 5/5 — Best Travel card by far

*2023-09-08, version 2.4.9*

Amazing card/app. Great set up nice and easy. Made life a breeze why travel. Customer services also very high quality helped me out with my problem within minutes.. Awesome card highly recommend
