Travel Pros Know Foreign Currency Is a Must in Their Wallet

Many U.S. travelers don’t recognize the importance of carrying foreign currency compared to travelers like our British friends across the pond. Bringing foreign cash, and knowing how much to bring, is as important as making sure your credit card providers know you are traveling internationally.

Travel pros bring currency so they can:

• pay like a local, never missing a deal or experience,

• securely travel with an important backup payment method,

• and have cash in hand for the most common payment type for small transactions.

While merchants prefer cash, it's also the most accepted payment worldwide with no reliance on technology.

As credit card fraud continues to rise, your card's security protections are designed to protect your account by quickly locking your card when suspicious activity occurs. Don't get caught without foreign currency in your wallet. It's an essential complement to your credit card so you can enjoy all your adventures on your travels.
