How do I get a secondary card and transfer money home?
firstthere provides you with the option of having a secondary card that is linked to your primary firstthere card. The great benefit of a second firstthere card is that you can use it to share your money with your partner in the UK or to transfer money back home to your family and friends cheaply, quickly and easily.
The secondary card is a prepaid MasterCard® just like the primary card. It can be used to shop on the high street, shop online and to get cash from an ATM (cash machine). The card is accepted all over the world, just look for the MasterCard® acceptance mark to see where you can use it. The secondary card can only be loaded with money from your primary card and it can never go overdrawn, giving you full control of your money.
You control when to load money onto your secondary card and how much money you load all from your mobile telephone. Your secondary cardholder cannot access the balance on your primary card and cannot access any of the details of your primary firstthere account. It's the safest, most secure and easiest way to transfer money home.
Once you are a cardholder you can apply for a secondary card quickly and simply via your mobile telephone or the Internet.
