Is There Such A Thing?
Is there such a thing as a pre loaded travel card that you can put cash dollars into in the UK? My 12yo is of to me York and has been given some money in dollar bills that I want to put on a prepaid card for her. However I don't want to change them into pounds, to only have to convert back to dollars when she spends it

If not maybe she can take the dollars to spend as cash in New York. Always useful to have a bit of cash.
You'll be limited by her being under 18 and I don't know of any cards where cash can be paid in on them. https:/
Prudie is right, you can top up the Post Office travel card with cash at any post office branch

When I went to Florida in 2015 I got a travel card, think it was Visa, and put money on it to use there. Can't remember where I got it from. You could also look into a Revolute Junior account that can be used for multiple currencies. They have a card and PIN and the parent who sets up the account can also control the account. Grandkids have these
