How Currensea works

When you sign up to Currensea, you link your Bank Account through your bank's secure online banking platform or mobile application. We perform a check on your linked Bank Account to ensure it meets our eligibility criteria. Once linked, you provide us with the authority to debit your linked Bank Account for transactions made using your Hilton Honors Debit Card. Authorised spend using your Hilton Honors Debit Card, will be taken as consent to debit your linked Bank Account for the GBP/£ equivalent amount, based on the applicable exchange rate.

For each transaction made, we will send an email to the email address you have provided, identifying the merchant and the amount of the transaction. Where used abroad, the email will also show the exchange rate used and the GBP/£ amount that will be debited from your Bank Account.

You have also authorised us to access information from your Bank Account, based on the usage conditions in our Privacy Policy. This authorisation and your Bank Account link is reconfirmed by you each time you access the app or use your Hilton Honors Debit Card. You can update your linked Bank Accounts via the app at any time.

Costs of using Currensea

Currensea is a platform powering different Currensea Services. Costs for using the Hilton Honors Debit Card services are:

The Hilton Honors Debit Card is a subscription debit card that enables users to earn Hilton Honors Points as they spend in the UK and internationally. For details on how Hilton Honors Points are earned please see the Earning Points section below.

Currensea charges a subscription for its services. Please see the Pricing Plan section below.

The Hilton Honors Debit Card is also designed to save you money on international purchases. Our Realtime Exchange Rates can be found her e.

Please note that the rate may change throughout the day, but we will let you know what rate has been applied to your transaction in your confirmation email. You can also check the rate via our website or mobile app.

Whenever you make an exchange using your Hilton Honors Debit Card you will be charged the Realtime Exchange Rate. We may add an exchange fee, depending on your pricing plan. An additional rate applies to ATM withdrawals over a certain amount per month, depending on your pricing plan. Please see our Pricing Plan table for more information. Please note, some ATM providers may charge a separate transaction fee.

Using Currensea

When using your Hilton Honors Debit Card to make a transaction, you must have enough funds available in your linked Bank Account. We’ll check the balance of your Bank Account to ensure there are sufficient funds before approving the transaction. Once a transaction has been authorised, we are immediately entitled to collect the funds which will be collected from your bank account via Direct Debit or Faster Payment. If we are unable to collect the funds from your Bank Account, we may charge you for late payment. Your Hilton Honors Debit Card is not a credit card and is not intended for borrowing.

You will need the Hilton Honors Debit Card mobile app to authenticate online payments.

If the Direct Debit or Faster Payment is unsuccessful, we’ll contact you regularly and keep trying to collect the funds, or request that these are sent to us via Faster Payment. If we have still not received the funds after 7 days, we will charge a one-off late payment fee of up to £35 and apply a compounded monthly fee of 25% on funds outstanding after 30 days (at the original unsuccessful payment date, and which will include the late payment fee). Your Hilton Honors Debit Card will be blocked until outstanding funds are repaid. Currensea reserves the right to refer any outstanding payments, including any additional fees, to a third party. If further fees are applied by those third parties, these will also be added to the balance. Outstanding payments may be reported to credit reference agencies and negatively impact your personal credit score.

You can keep track of how much you are spending via the transaction list in your mobile app.

Spend on your Hilton Honors Debit Card is subject to our Fair Use Policy. We may block a transaction if:

We suspect any criminal or fraudulent activity on your Hilton Honors Debit Card (to protect you)
We’re not legally allowed to process the transaction
The transaction takes you over your Currensea spend limits
You don’t have enough funds in your linked Bank Account
we’ve had to apply a fee due to uncollected funds
Your spend is not in-line with our Fair Use Policy
The transaction is for a non-permitted purchase. Details of non-permitted purchases can be found in our Fair Use Policy

If we do block a transaction, we'll let you know as soon as possible via email. Therefore, please ensure your contact details are correct.

Limits

Spend limits will be based on your balance and transaction history, as well as other profile or business information.

Your spend limits can be viewed in your mobile app. These limits may change over time, and we will let you know if they do. Please note, your Hilton Honors Debit Card cannot be used for ATM withdrawals in the UK

Please contact us at help.hiltonhonorsdebitcard@currensea.com if you want to discuss your limits.

Keeping your card safe

You must always keep your Hilton Honors Debit Card and its details safe and never let anyone else use them. You should memorise your PIN and other security information and keep them secret at all times.

You must only ever reveal your card number to make a transaction, report the loss or theft of the card, or if we ask you to. We’ll never contact you to ask you for your passwords, CVC, PIN, OTP token or full security details. When we contact you, we’ll always check we’re corresponding with the right person by asking you several security questions associated with your Hilton Honors Debit Card Account.

If your Hilton Honors Debit Card is lost or stolen, or you see unrecognised transactions, you must freeze it immediately via your Hilton Honors Debit Card mobile app and contact us at help.hiltonhonorsdebitcard@currensea.com as soon as possible. If you need a new card, we may charge you £5 for a replacement.

We’ll usually refund you for any unrecognised transactions, unless:

You didn't keep your Hilton Honors Debit Card, CVC, OTP, and/or PIN safe (as we have told you above)
You broke the terms of these T&Cs or website Terms of Use
The unrecognised transactions are over 13 months old
You acted fraudulently or with intent or gross negligence
The losses are not the direct result of our actions

Authorised transactions

All spend using your Hilton Honors Debit Card is deemed as authorised, thereby giving us the authority to take the funds from your linked Bank Account via Direct Debit or Faster Payment. This means you must always have an active direct debit.

You will receive an email notification each time a transaction takes place using your Hilton Honors Debit Card or a daily summary of transactions. If you did not authorise the transaction, you must freeze your card via your Currensea dashboard or mobile app immediately and contact us at help.hiltonhonorsdebitcard@currensea.com as soon as possible. If you have been a victim of fraud, we will usually refund any money you have lost, unless you acted fraudulently or with gross negligence (as listed above).

Purchase protection

For your protection, Currensea supports Mastercard™ chargebacks. This may help you reclaim funds if:

Your goods do not arrive
Your goods arrive damaged
Your goods are different from how they were described
The merchant has ceased trading

If you need to raise a chargeback, please contact us at help.hiltonhonorsdebitcard@currensea.com.

Upgrade or Downgrades of Pricing Plans

Upgrading your plan

Cardholders of the basic Hilton Honors Debit Card can upgrade to the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card plan at any point in time. On upgrading, the Cardholder will be billed the full annual membership for the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card, and their new renewal date will be twelve months from the date their new Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card subscription commences.

The Cardholder will also receive a fractional refund relating to their original plan, equal to the number of full months remaining until their original card subscription. E.g. customer signs up to the basic Hilton Honors Debit Card on 15 October 2025, and then requests to upgrade to the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card on 5 June 2026. This customer would be entitled to a refund for the residual 4 complete months between 15 June and 15 October, equating to GBP 20. This refund would be issued by Currensea on receipt of the GBP 150 subscription for the customer’s new Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card. The customer’s new renewal date will become 5 June 2027. No welcome bonus will apply to upgrades.

Downgrading your plan

Point Booster

Cardholders have the option to activate the “Point Booster” feature in their mobile app. When activated, it allows cardholders to round-up eligible transactions to the nearest 10p and thereby purchase points at a rate of 1 point / £0.01. See our help section for more examples.

This feature can be disabled by the cardholder at any time. As with the underlying transaction, this feature is subject to our Fair Use Policy and all points purchased in this way remain pending until verified.

We reserve the right to amend the terms of this offer, or remove it in its entirety, at any time. We will endeavour to inform you of any upcoming changes to Earn Rates at least 30 days prior to it coming into effect.

Fair Use Policy

In order to ensure that you get the best experience using the Hilton Honors Debit Card, there are some fair use limitations to be aware of. We reserve the right to limit the use of, or block your card, if we see that you are using it in the following ways:

Ecommerce micropayments: if you are using Hilton Honors Debit Card solely or frequently for ecommerce micropayments (such as for online games)

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to review any transaction or group of transactions. If we reasonably believe that a transaction or group of transactions has been entered into artificially or fraudulently for the primary purpose of earning points or other rewards, we may, without prior notice, block the earning of points on such transactions and take any additional actions deemed necessary, including but not limited to account suspension or termination. We reserve the right to amend this list at any given time, but we will notify Cardholders in advance of any material changes taking effect.
