    I had a couple of questions predeparture. They provided satisfactory answers to all my questions. Since I didn't make a claim, I can't really rate them. However, I intent to give them another try in the future.

    Purchase was easy. Appreciated the reviews - that said, the claim process so far has been really drawn out and customer service with Travelex has not been great. They told me 15 business days to review, and after 20 finally emailed to say they needed a bunch more documents - that was a week ago and since responding the same day, I have heard nothing.

    Review Updated: 09/27/2024

    They told me it would be 15 business days, but it was over 30 before the claim was resolved. Otherwise, it was fairly strait forward to process the claim. Everything was done online and via email, which could be slow at times.
