LONDON, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cross-border shopping has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic, with consumers now buying from global retailers, luxury brands, and niche online stores - all delivered conveniently to their doorstep with just a few clicks.
This shift has been powered by the rise of digital payments, as shoppers demand seamless, secure, and instant transactions that support multiple currencies, real-time spend tracking, and smooth checkouts.
With iFAST Global Bank's Multi-Currency Current Account, customers can hold, receive, spend and transfer across eight major currencies: GBP, EUR, USD, SGD, HKD, CNY, JPY and CHF, all in one place. The account allows customers to earn interest on their current account balances, including 2.9% AER (variable) on GBP, 2.5% AER (variable) on USD, and 1.0% AER (variable) on EUR*. For added peace of mind, all eligible deposits are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), up to £85,000 per person.
For UK residents, the Visa Debit Card makes overseas spending effortless, offering multi-currency support with real-time foreign exchange conversion and card acceptance across 200 countries and territories.
Reward Your Global Spending
From 1 August to 31 October 2025, customers can earn up to 2% cashback on all eligible overseas spending with the Visa debit card, capped at £25 per month (equivalent to up to £1,250 spent each month). The cashback will be automatically credited into the account on a monthly basis.
Overseas spending includes:
- In-store transactions abroad;
- Online purchases made with merchants based outside of the UK; or
- Online or in-store purchases priced in a foreign currency, other than GBP (£).
"Convenience is the cornerstone of modern shopping. Consumers want the freedom to purchase from anywhere in the world without compromising on quality and value.
