Travelling overseas? Here are our top items to tick off your pre-travel checklist
Let us know before you go
We're always on the lookout for suspicious card activity. If we don't know you're overseas, transactions made outside Australia is a cause for concern. Contact your branch to let us know where you're going and how long you'll be gone for.
Pre-pay your bills
If you're set up to receive one-time password authentication, this may not work while you're overseas. Avoid the hassle of being unable to make a payment to a new payee, by scheduling BPAY bill payments or other payments in Online Banking before you go.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance is essential for peace of mind while you're on holiday. Check out our travel insurance page or get a quote online now.
Taking money overseas
Our low rate credit card can be used to pay for hotels, food and travel arrangements. Keep in mind that most hotels and cruises only accept credit card on arrival. To avoid getting caught, do your research on where you're staying before you go.
Foreign Cash
Why not order your foreign cash ahead of time before leaving Australia and take the hassle out of queues at the airport. We offer Australia’s largest range of currencies and denominations. Major currencies such as US Dollars, British Pounds, Euro and New Zealand Dollars can be made available for pick up usually the next working day*.
Don’t forget, we can sell AND repurchase over 30 currencies in a variety of denominations.
Beware of data roaming
If you're taking your SIM card overseas, avoid hefty data charges from your network provider, by turning off 'data roaming' from within your phone settings.
