Question 1

Why has an €8 fee been taken from my Euro payment?

Accepted Answer

Any Euro payments sent to countries within the EEA (European Economic Area) as SWIFT may be subject to an €8 fee, charged by the intermediary bank to which the payment is being sent.

This charge is not taken by Centtrip and is unfortunately outside of our control.

SEPA payments are not affected by this charge.

Question 2

My card has been lost or stolen, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Your card can be reported as lost or stolen and instantly locked via the Centtrip app. Once locked no debits or withdrawals can be made.

Report your card as lost or stolen using the app

Open the Centrip app and tap the menu icon to open app 'SETTINGS'.
Select ‘Lost or Stolen Card’.
An instant alert will be sent to Centtrip and the card will be locked automatically.
Contact Centtrip or your account administrator to order a replacement card. Any remaining card funds will need to be transfered back to your main account.
Once ordered, your new card should take 7-10 working days to arrive. Meanwhile, no debits or withdrawals will be allowed.

Hints and tips

You can also lock your card from your desktop account from the settings menu. Please also contact Centtrip to order a replacement.
To lock your for card for later use, without reporting it as lost or stolen, select 'Lock or Unlock Card' from the app menu. The card can be unlocked later at any time and used immediately.
We recommend downloading the app for your iOS or Android device, so that you can lock/unlock your card anytime, view balances and transactions on the go and upload instant photo receipts.
Access our Cardholder Guide for instructions on how to sign into and make the most of the app.
Administrators can also lock/unlock any cards they manage on behalf of cardholders, as outlined above.

Question 4

Why could my foreign exchange (FX) rate change after booking a conversion?

Accepted Answer

All rates that are offered when you request a quote through your Centtrip account are real-time rates based on the live foreign exchange market.

This means that they are subject to change as the market moves and on occasion, the actual rate at which your currency is purchased may be slightly different to the rate that was shown at point of booking your conversion.

This change is reflective of the market at that time and can affect you either positively or negatively.

Question 5

How do I get the best rate when withdrawing from an ATM?

Accepted Answer

You can use your Centtrip card to withdraw from any cash machine displaying the Mastercard Acceptance Mark above.

When taking out money, the ATM will usually give you a couple of withdrawal options to:

Process the transaction in local currency
Use the ATM’s conversation rate.

We highly recommend selecting option 1 to ensure you take out the currency held on the card and avoid any conversion fee being applied by the ATM operator.

If you select option 2 when you have the local currency on your Centtrip card, the ATM will identify it as a UK card and process the withdrawal in GBP. This means the local currency will be converted to GBP on your card and then back at the ATM’s rate, which tends to be very poor. You may also incur additional fees.
