Spending between currencies

Qantas Cash is great for cutting down on foreign currency exchanges whilst you’re travelling. The funds on your card are treated as a single pool of funds, even if you have loaded more than one currency. This means that if you don’t have enough loaded in a particular currency, loaded funds can be retrieved from your overall balance in the default order of priority to fund the transaction. As a currency conversion will be required to fund the transaction, a currency conversion will apply, but you’ll be secure in the knowledge you still have access to funds.
