Australian FinTech we're loving: Pelikin

Pelikin is a new startup with the goal of reshaping the way Australians save, send and spend money while travelling abroad.

They offer a debit card to spend, deposit and store funds, as well as receive spending alerts and real-time analytics to track spending habits.
