Essential Tips for Safeguarding Your Money While Traveling
Knowing how to store your money and personal belongings safely and securely could help you avoid the common travel risks of petty theft, robbery, or ATM tampering.
Prep before you leave:
Opening a Savings Account with incentives to exchange points for accommodation or flights on your next trip.
Having a credit or debit card handy may help add convenience to your trip, as it could eliminate the need for carrying large amounts of hard cash.
Before departing, it is a good idea to notify your bank of your plans to travel abroad. Inform them of the dates you’ll be overseas and the specific dates you’ll be in each country if you plan to travel to multiple locations.
In the case of emergencies, travel insurance while overseas could be worth the investment.
Protect your valuables:
Keep your money in multiple places.
Do not leave your valuables unattended, and consider keeping your wallet or physical cash in your front pockets wherever possible.
Only use reputable ATMs.
