Kuwait-based Burgan Bank is now offering its X-Change multi-currency card instantly at its branch at Kuwait International Airport.

The move by Burgan Bank is part of its plan to provide added value services to customers, including travellers.

With the roll out of cards at airport, travellers can instantly receive their cards without the need to follow the normal online registration procedures.

The multi-currency X-Change card is a prepaid card that has been developed for frequent travellers and students studying abroad.

The x-change card is available in USD, Euro, GB Pound, Saudi Riyal, UAE Dirham, Filipino Peso and Egyptian Pound currency denominations.

The X-Change multi-currency card can be used by customers to shop online, book ticket, and make reservations at hotel, while retaining the exchange rate value. The card, however, comes with an annual fee of KWD10 ($35.37) and KD5 ($17.68) for three years based on card currency.
