It’s a points-earning, rate-locking, interest-free.
When you load via the Qantas Pay app or website, you can lock in the exchange rate3 on up to 10 foreign currencies4 - including Euros (EUR). Buying EUR before you head off will give you peace of mind that even if the rates move up or down while you’re away, your pre-loaded currencies won’t. You’ll always know exactly how much money you have available to spend for better budgeting abroad.
Check out today's rate below. The handy currency converter tool will tell you how much AU$1 will buy if you load EUR within the next four hours.3
When planning your European adventure, the hardest decision can often be where to begin. We recommend that you buy some Euro. So let the Qantas Pay card get you off to a flying start. Secure, convenient and welcome all over, it’s the consummate European travelling companion.
Keen to drop a few Aéreos in Lisbon? Or how about spending some Pavos in Madrid? Whatever the language, Euro’s the currency – and Qantas Pay is the card. Its exchange rates are locked in and it’s accepted at millions of locations worldwide. And with 24/7 Mastercard Qantas Pay Global Support, it’s the smart traveller’s choice for convenience, security and peace of mind.
Load it up and lock it in
The great thing about travelling with a Qantas Pay card is that you can lock in the exchange rate of your desired currency prior to traveling3 - up to 10 exchange rates at one time4. Meaning you’ll always know exactly how much money you have, even when visiting more than one destination. Even better, you’ll earn Qantas Points on the foreign currency you load and spend. All you need to do is load your money onto your Qantas Pay card, via the Qantas Pay app or website. You can choose from debit load, bank transfer, or BPAY®, whichever suits you.
For the money nerds - or for those who like to win trivia nights here’s an interesting fact: the notes are the same across the entire region and have a central theme of European architecture. While the coins have a common side and a national side, illustrating the country from which they were issued.

Europe's top destinations
It’s impossible to visit Europe and not be enchanted by the vibrant, mythical-meets-modern heartbeat of some of the world’s most iconic cities, and the culture of the people who make it so. Whether it’s strolling Parisienne walkways, clubbing the night away in Barcelona or exploring the ruins of ancient Rome; a European getaway offers a unique experience each time.
Paris
Shop the Champs-Élysées, wander through the Louvre, stroll up to Montmatre to see the Sacré-Cœur Basilica – or just eat all the croissants. Whatever tickles your fancy, Paris caters to every mood.
Barcelona
Take a post-tapas stroll through the city and marvel at Gaudi’s modernisme buildings, some of the world’s most unique and talked about architecture. The city of Picasso’s youth has everything for the art lover in you.
Rome
Once the centrepiece of an empire, the eternal city is steeped in history and legend. Explore the ancient ruins of the Pantheon, let loose your inner Gladiator at the Colosseum, or revel in the majesty of Vatican City. Plus pasta and gelato, of course.
