As Sri Lankans head overseas during the peak year-end travel season, the Bank of Ceylon (BOC) is highlighting its Multi-Currency Travel Card (MCTC) as a secure and convenient payment option for international travellers.

The BOC MCTC allows travelers to carry five major currencies US Dollars, British Pounds, Euros, Japanese Yen and Australian Dollars on a single secure prepaid card, eliminating the need to manage multiple cash denominations.

With the ability to load up to $ 25,000 and switch between currencies through a dedicated self-care portal, travelers can maintain precise control over exchange rates and manage expenses efficiently during peak travel periods.

Security is a key feature of the card. Each BOC MCTC is equipped with an EMV chip, NFC enabled contact-less payment capability, and 3D secure online protection, along with real time SMS and email alerts for every transaction.

Cardholders also receive a complimentary backup card, ensuring uninterrupted access to funds in the event of loss or theft. In addition, the card includes travel insurance coverage of up to $ 250,000, subject to eligibility, providing peace of mind for travelers exploring overseas destinations during the busy season.

Endorsed by Mastercard, the BOC MCTC is accepted at over four million ATMs and 40 million merchants worldwide, making it a convenient tool for shopping, dining, duty-free purchases, and online payments to foreign merchants. Reloading is simple and accessible at any BOC branch, with remote reloading option available exclusively for students studying abroad, ensuring uninterrupted financial access during their travels.

The BOC MCTC has become a preferred solution among business professionals, medical tourists, students, and high-end travelers, offering a seamless, cashless experience for managing international expenses. As Sri Lankans travel abroad during the festive season BOC MCTC provides a secure, flexible, and convenient solution, allowing travelers to focus on their journey with confidence and peace of mind.

In addition, cardholders automatically qualify for all Mastercard promotional offers when making payments using the BOC MCTC. The card also extends exclusive benefits for customers settling medical-related payments in India, further enhancing its value for those seeking specialized healthcare services abroad.
