Don’t forget to protect yourself when travelling:

Remember, when you travel abroad that different places take different types of payment. So it’s a good idea to take some currency, travellers cheques and your debit or credit card. For security you should always carry them separately.

Please remember, fees may apply when using your card to buy goods and services in foreign currency. Refer to the terms and conditions of your card provider.
