How to transfer money from your prepaid card
Prepaid cards are a great way to control your spending.
Setting daily, weekly or monthly spending allowances or prepaying cards with a certain amount of money and being strict with your outgoings can allow us to manage our finances better and to keep track of overspending on certain costs that we can look to reduce.
It is a helpful tool which can come in handy when travelling abroad and dealing with increased international charges.

If you’re living gluten-free — whether due to coeliac disease, gluten intolerance or simply personal choice — Mexican food might just be your new best friend. Gluten-free Mexican food includes traditional dishes made with corn-based ingredients like corn tortillas (not flour ones), tamales, rice, beans, grilled meats, fresh salsas, guacamole and slow-cooked stews. When made with care and authentic ingredients, many Mexican dishes are naturally gluten-free and packed with bold, vibrant flavour.
Indian food is loved around the world for its bold spices, comforting curries and rich textures. But if you're dairy intolerant or lactose sensitive, some traditional dishes can feel off-limits — especially when ingredients like ghee, cream, yoghurt and paneer take centre stage. Thankfully, dairy-free Indian food is not only possible — it’s delicious. Many popular dishes like chana masala, aloo gobi, dal tadka, vegetable biryani and roti are naturally dairy-free or can easily be adapted. With a few smart swaps, you can enjoy all the flavour of Indian cuisine without the dairy.
If you move away from home, it’s often the little things that stay with you — the comforting smell of spices in a warm kitchen, or the first bite of a dish that reminds you of family and celebration. Food has a way of connecting us to where we come from, even when we’re far away.
For many people living abroad, staying connected means more than just a phone call — it’s the small rituals that bring comfort, like cooking a familiar meal or helping out back home when you can. Whether it’s a recipe passed down through generations or a quick money transfer to support family, those gestures keep us close.
