Visa introduces a prepaid international money card.

Signaling its intention to continue to develop new card-based products and services, Visa International last week introduced an international prepaid TravelMoney card.

Visa will test the card for six months with six member institutions, and then roll it out worldwide - most likely by next spring.

Visa officials predicted that in the first full year of distribution, member banks could sell more than 2.5 million TravelMoney cards at a value of $1.6 billion.

The card, which will be marketed primarily to people traveling outside their home country, will allow them to access previously designated travel funds at any of the 200,000 Visa/Plus automated teller machines worldwide.

"Visa TravelMoney is a prepaid, instantly activated card-based product that leverages both the Visa expertise in payment systems technology and our members' investment in the Visa/Plus global ATM network," said Ed Jensen, chief executive officer of Visa.

"For the traveler, it offers an enhanced level of convenience and safety," he continued, "and for our members, it offers a new source of revenue and potential customers."

The card was introduced last week at the Bank Administration Institute's retail delivery systems conference in Phoenix, where both Visa and MasterCard International took every opportunity to send the message that they will take a very active role in the future of payment systems worldwide. The card, they said time and time again, will be the key to the payment systems network.

Visa's new TravelMoney card is a departure from the traditional ATM card in that a consumer need not have a relationship with the issuing bank. Similar to traveler's checks, the card will access only designated travel funds, not an entire account.

"There are four potential revenue streams for the banks," said Jack Levine, vice president of cash products for Visa. "There's the upfront sales fee, per-use fees, the float between the time the consumer purchases the card and actually uses it, and foreign exchange opportunities."

The card also presents the opportunity to get potential customers into a branch, where they can be sold other products as well.

The pilot with two U.S.-based banks, First Bank System, Minneapolis, and its subsidiary. Colorado National Bank, plus Banco Mexicano. Bancomer, and Confia in Mexico and the Bank of Scotland, will test the overall system and identify additional marketing and potential revenue ideas.

Visa said it conducted market research that showed great consumer interest in this product - even, surprisingly, among people who do not regularly use ATMs.

Besides use for travel overseas, focus groups identified three more potential uses:

* A gift for friends and relatives - especially useful for students away at school.

* Cash for an emergency - such as keeping a card in the car's glove compartment.

* A corporate cash advance.

The only equipment banks need to sell Visa TravelMoney cards is a Verifone point of sale terminal.

"We did not want to create a new need for equipment" said Mr. Levine. "We wanted to find a way to introduce this product with existing technology."

The card, which is the same size as other Visa cards but is not embossed with the cardholder's name, is purchased for any amount the consumer desires. It never expires.

Although Visa will not set any upper limit, individual institutions can set prices and terms for the card, which they disclose at the time of sale.

A bank can choose to issue two cards for the same funds, for example, for two travelers who may want to separate for some time.

As a differentiating feature, the TravelMoney card boasts a hologram magnetic stripe, the first time it is being used commercially.

At the time of purchase, the customer selects or receives a four-digit personal identification number, which is used to withdraw cash at the ATM. If a customer believes the PIN is no longer secret, it can be changed at any Visa/Plus ATM.

A record of the prepaid amount is stored at a central Visa processing site, and it is available for authorization 24 hours a day. VisaNet handles all transactions and currency conversions.

When a customer desires cash, he or she goes to any Visa/Plus ATM, inserts the card, keys in the PIN, enters the amount of cash desired, and receives the local currency at a favorable exchange rate.

When the card's value is used up, the cardholder can either throw it away, or, if a small balance remains, return it to a Visa TravelMoney sales location to withdraw the remaining balance. The card is not replenishable.

To support the product, Visa will maintain a 24-hour customer service assistance center to replace lost or stolen cards. A customer will receive a replacement card within 24 hours - primarily through a local institution that sells the cards.

In preparation for the pilot, 100 Visa employees used the cards last month to conduct 500 withdrawals in 19 cities worldwide.

"We tested the system inside and out," said Mr. Levine. "We tested branch sales procedures, worldwide ATM withdrawals, clearing, settlement, and account posting, daily issuer and accounting reports, and customer service.

"We wanted the product to be field tested before our member institutions began issuing it."

A new report sheds light on the lack of player protections against scams and exploitive data collection practices of video game companies.

The case over the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's $8 late fee rule has emerged as a flashpoint in a larger debate over "judge shopping," whereby plaintiffs seek venues with judges sympathetic to their complaints.

To help historic restaurants facing dramatic losses when COVID struck, American Express rolled out grants to 25 needy restaurateurs. Four years later, the program is reaching twice as many establishments and the card network's investment has more than doubled.

A combination of higher interest rates and increased vacancies — especially in office buildings — are leading to more apprehensions in commercial real estate.

The company has long been criticized for its lagging financial performance and its complexity. CEO Jane Fraser is pushing through Citigroup's most recent transformation plan, but will she succeed where her predecessors have failed?

Top picks of 2024

South America is made up of 12 different countries, each with different currencies. For example, Colombia has Colombian pesos, Argentina uses Argentinian pesos, Brazil the real and Peru the nuevo sol. As such, bringing a combination of cards and cash is essential.

Here are the types of payment options available and other financial tips for navigating South America.

Our picks for traveling to South America

• Low intro rates on purchases and balance transfers

It’s important to take a combination of travel money options wherever you go in the world, but this is especially true for a trip to South America. Having a combination of cards and cash to use as a backup is necessary to ensure you won’t run into any spending roadblocks on your vacation.

Credit cards, debit cards and travel cards are widely accepted in South America. You’ll have no problem using your Visa or Mastercard at any business that can accept credit cards, however, American Express is typically only accepted at high-end businesses.

Stick to a Visa or Mastercard so you can make withdrawals and payments in a variety of places.

Using a credit card

Look for a credit card designed for travel that doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees to save money on international purchases when traveling through South America. The Capital One VentureOne Rewards Credit Card is a good choice, but there are plenty of other options on the market as well (Terms apply, see rates & fees ).

If you’re a frequent traveler, use a travel credit card that pays miles for each dollar you spend. This way you can maximize rewards and use those miles towards the purchase of your next flight.

• Some credit cards waive overseas ATM fee
• Protected by PIN and chip
• Accepted worldwide
• Features such as complimentary travel insurance and reward points earning
• Cash advance fees
• Higher spending limit that could make budgeting difficult

Using a debit card

A travel friendly debit card that waives international ATM fees or foreign transaction fees, like one from Betterment Checking , is a smart travel money option for a trip to South America. Look for a debit card provider that is part of the Global ATM Alliance because you’ll be able to avoid currency conversion fees — Barclay Bank and Bank of America are members.

If you’re planning on using a debit card that doesn’t waive ATM fees, take out the maximum amount of money so you don’t have to make as money withdrawals.

• Security with chip and PIN
• Direct access to money
• Save on overseas ATM fee when you withdraw
• $0 account keeping fees if you deposit the minimum requirement
• Unlimited free withdrawals at selected banks
• Currency conversion and international ATM fees

Using a prepaid travel card

No prepaid travel cards support South American currencies, so these products shouldn’t be considered for a trip to the continent. Although you can load US Dollars onto these travel money products, acceptance is limited and you’ll pay to convert funds twice.

• Tip: The South American regions of French Guiana off the coast of Brazil and the Falkland Islands adjacent to Argentina use the euro and pound, so you could use a travel card to spend in either destination with no problem.
• Protected by PIN & chip
• Multiple supported currencies

Paying with cash in South America

South America is one destination where you’re going to need to have cash in case of an emergencies. Although you can use your card in more places now more than ever, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to access cash at any given moment — especially outside of major cities.

Where debit and credit cards are accepted can vary greatly depending on the location. You won’t have a problem with a card in the capital cities, especially in countries like Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina for example. However, there are major tourist attractions, like the Amazon, where you’re going to need enough cash to last you for the entire leg of your trip.

• Greater payment flexibility
• Convenience
• Difficult to manage expenses
• Higher risk of theft

Using traveler’s checks

Don’t bother taking traveler’s checks to South America. They’re difficult to cash and can be expensive. Also, it is no more secure than using a debit card (ATMs in South America are everywhere), credit card or prepaid travel card.

• Can be costly with initial purchase charges
• Not all merchants accept travelers checks

ATM withdrawals are by far the most efficient way to get local currency in cash on your holiday. ATMs are located all throughout the continent. If you want to carry cash as an emergency backup, US Dollars are widely accepted if you can’t pay in the local currency.

It’ll be cheaper if you wait to exchange your money when you arrive compared to converting currency with banks in the US. However, you could always consider using an online money transfer service to send money to your destination and pick it up when you arrive. This option makes getting foreign currency extremely convenient for travelers.

• Banco Bradesco, Brazil
• Banco Santander Brasil, Brazil
• BBVA Bancomer, Mexico
• Banco Santander Mexico, Mexico
• Citibanamex, Mexico

Visa and Mastercard should work at all ATMs where you can see a Maestro, Cirrus, Mastercard or Visa logo on the front of the machine. Always try to use ATMs attached to the side of a bank. And if possible, bring a card from a bank that doesn’t charge international ATM fees, like Betterment Checking.

• Tip: ATMs in the Amazon region of Brazil, some parts of Venezuela and Bolivia may not accept foreign debit cards. Make sure you have enough cash to last you the duration of your stay if you’re visiting these regions.

It depends on what country you travel to in South American. Prices in Brazil are more expensive than Ecuador, and Ibague (the 7th largest city in Colombia) is cheaper than Medellin (the 2nd biggest city in Colombia).

Wherever your travel, the continent can be as expensive or cheap as you make it. Below you can find some budget prices for different countries in South America. All prices are in US dollars.

New Zealand tightens visa rules after migration hits ‘unsustainable’ levels

Net migration to New Zealand hit a near record high in 2023 after a new temporary work visa was introduced after the pandemic

New Zealand will tighten its visa rules for some migrants as the coalition government moves to overhaul the immigration system it says has led to “unsustainable” levels of migration.

Last year, annual net migration to New Zealand hit a near record high of more than 173,000 non-New Zealand citizens in the year to December, Stats NZ reported .

Immigration minister Erica Stanford announced on Sunday changes to the accredited employer worker visa (AEWV), the main temporary work visa, which was introduced in mid-2022 to help fill workforce shortages after the pandemic.

The government’s changes to the scheme would include introducing English-language requirements for low-skilled jobs and setting a minimum skills and work experience threshold for most employer work visas. The maximum continuous stay for most low-skilled roles will also be reduced to three years from five years.

The changes would be immediate, she said.

“The government is focused on attracting and retaining the highly skilled migrants such as secondary teachers, where there is a skill shortage,” Stanford said in a statement. “At the same time we need to ensure that New Zealanders are put to the front of the line for jobs where there are no skills shortages.”

New Zealand, which has a population of about 5.1 million, has seen a rapid growth in migrant numbers since the end of the pandemic, raising concerns last year that it was fanning inflation. A Reserve Bank-commissioned report released last month into the possible links between migration levels and inflation was inconclusive.

Stanford said the changes would also reduce the vulnerability of migrants to exploitation.

In February, the Public Service Commission released its review of the AEWV scheme, which former immigration minister Andrew Little ordered after complaints of exploitation. The commission found that a small number of “unscrupulous employers” targeted the scheme and took payments from people wanting to move to New Zealand.

“By having an English-language requirement migrants will be better able to understand their rights or raise concerns about an employer early,” Stanford said.

The government had scrapped plans to add 11 new roles to the Green List – a list of highly skilled roles that New Zealand is struggling to fill – including welders, and fitters and turners.

Neighbouring Australia, which has also seen a big increase in migration, has said it would halve its migrant intake over the next two years.
