An Post announces services expansion in Mayo

FOLLOWING agreement with Postmasters, An Post has announced a new vision for its Post Office network.

In 22 Post Offices across Mayo, customers can now access An Post’s commission-free Foreign Exchange cash and PostFX cards, making it cheaper, safer and easier to carry holiday spending money in US, Australian or Canadian Dollars, or UK Sterling.

In a recent customer survey, Post Office customers ranked the most important features of Post FX currency cards as being:

• Safer to carry than cash, thanks to the chip & pin feature

• Cheaper to use for payments abroad than a credit or debit card.

• Commission-free with no hidden charges.

• Peace-of-mind – you can only spend the amount loaded in advance on the card.

• Security – It’s not linked to your bank account or personal details.

Other Post FX features include online top-up @PostFX.ie; using a second Post FX as a back-up card in case of loss or theft and 24/7 customer service, 365 days a year, anywhere in the world.

The card is available at the post offices in Ballina, Castlebar, Westport, Achill Sound, Ardnaree, Ballinrobe, Ballyhaunis, Ballyvary, Bangor Erris, Belmullet, Charlestown, Claremorris, Crossmolina, Foxford, Enniscrone, Kilkelly, Killala, Kiltimagh, Knock, Louisburgh, Newport and Swinford.
