If you are going abroad, whether for work or a holiday, it pays to give some thought to your finances before you go. There are a number of ways you can make sure you have enough money to meet your needs when you are overseas. Get more information on:
. Check with your travel agent prior to departure about the best way to carry funds in the country you are going to.
. Buy some foreign currency or traveller's cheques before you go but make sure you shop around to get the best value. The two main factors to consider are the exchange rate and the commission you are charged- they determine the amount of foreign currency you will get for your euro.
. Carry a small amount of local currency to pay bus or taxi fares or make small purchases such as food or telephone calls.
. Buy some foreign currency and traveller's cheques when you're abroad, but more people are now using bankcards on holidays.
