Cards, cash and currency tips to keep more of your money in your pocket.
Look for a card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees or ATM withdrawal fees. Paying with a travel-friendly card can save you money on every purchase abroad.
When paying by card, always choose to be charged in the local currency rather than your home currency. The card's dynamic currency conversion often uses an unfavourable rate with extra fees.
A little local cash helps for small purchases and places that don't accept cards. Avoid airport money changers with poor rates and withdraw from ATMs in the local currency instead.
