Take advantage of the strong Aussie Dollar

With the Australian dollar remaining strong against the US Dollar, the Euro and the British Pound, now is a good time to consider taking that overseas trip you have been dreaming about. Or, if you can’t quite afford a big trip, there are great savings to be had buying products through US and UK online stores.

If you already have an overseas trip planned for later in the year, consider converting some of your spending money now (just in case the Aussie dollar dips before you head off).

A simple and easy solution is setting up a Travelex Cash Passport card. This way you can buy your foreign money now without having to stash your Pounds, Euros or US dollars under your mattress.

If you decide to spend some money online using a US or UK online store, there are a few things to keep in mind. Make sure the site you are using is a well known and recommended store.

Also, make sure any page that asks for personal information or payment information is a secure page. Simply make sure the URL for the page starts with https:// and that there is a padlock either near the address bar (for Internet Explorer or Google Chrome website browsers) or in the bottom right corner (for Firefox website browser).

We offer a range of travel products from travel loans to travel insurance and even foreign exchange.
