2. Travel Savings Plan (Plan) options
The Travel Savings Plan (Plan) gives you the option to make monthly Plan Payments to build a Final Amount in GBP (a GBP Plan) or other Caxton Card currency (a Currency Plan).
Under the terms of this Travel Savings Plan Addendum, You agree to making a series of monthly payments with the purpose of achieving a Final Amount at a future Maturity Date which will be loaded to your Caxton Account and Caxton Card.
2.1 Currency Plan
When You set up a Travel Savings Plan in a non-GBP currency (Currency Plan) you choose the following parameters, all of which become fixed when You complete the set-up process; the Plan Currency; the Final Amount in the Plan Currency between the value of £1,000 and £10,000 or currency equivalent; the number of monthly Plan Payments; and the Payment Day of the month You want Caxton to take payments. The number of Plan Payments and the Payment Day determine the Maturity Date of the Plan.
Under the terms of the Currency Plan, and as distinct from the GBP Plan, the Final Amount will only be added to Your Caxton Card after the final Plan Payment has been made. If the Final Amount exceeds Your Caxton Card load limits then the balance will remain on your Caxton Account Currency Balance for your future use. See the Mastercard Prepaid Card Terms & Conditions for Your Caxton Card limits.
To provide the Currency Plan, Caxton buy a Forward Contract on the currency markets. By its nature, and under the terms of this Addendum, a Forward Contract is a binding agreement between You and Caxton to buy the Final Amount of currency at the future Maturity Date at an agreed rate of exchange. These Currency Plan arrangements are fixed. See the Changes section and the Cancellation section in this Addendum.
There is no draw-down facility during the Currency Plan Payment Period and no interest will be paid on the money you pay to Caxton during the Plan Payment Period.

The number of Plan Payments and the Payment Day determine the Maturity Date of the Plan.
After each Plan Payment, Caxton will transfer the Plan Payment amount to Your Caxton Card up to the load limit of Your Caxton Card. If the Plan Payment exceeds Your Caxton Card load limit then the balance will remain on your Account Currency Balance for your future use. See the Mastercard Prepaid Card Terms & Conditions for Your Caxton Card limits.

The Plan Quote will be valid for a duration of 5 mins after which you will be alerted via the setup process that the Your Plan Quote has expired.
