There are banking machines in all the countries we operate in, which will dispense the local currency to you, and your leaders will be sure to direct you to them! In all our destinations you will be using the local currency. You will need to have a debit card that has the “Plus” or “Cirrus” logo on the back of the card. We suggest having at least one debit card and one credit card.
From past experience, when group members have lost or misplaced one of their cards it has been great tot have a back up to retrieve further cash from the ATM. We also suggest signing up for Online Banking if you have not already. This is a great way to transfer funds and juggle your money accordingly to ensure you always have enough cash for food, booze and good times!
Traveler’s cheques have become a thing of the past just like the mullet and we do not suggest bringing travelers cheques along with you (mullets are ok). One of the beauties of being with a large group is that we can all look out for each other and you will never be stranded alone in a foreign continent if you were to have a banking issue. Your leaders are knowledgeable travelers who will help you sort out any issue with your bank.
