Financial Tips When you Travel
Do you have upcoming travel plans?
We encourage you to keep the following tips in mind when traveling to keep your finances safe and ensure a smooth, carefree vacation.
- NOTIFY US OF YOUR TRAVEL PLANS: We encourage you to call us in advance of your travel plans so we can ensure your debit and/or credit card remains active and your funds remain available. Simply call (307) 684-2211 or (800) 766-3641 during normal banking hours to speak with a customer service representative.
- TRAVEL LIGHT: Only carry the cards you will use while you travel. Leave unnecessary cards at home.
- HOLD THE MAIL: To avoid potentially sensitive mail piling up while you are gone, notify the post office of your travel plans and ask that a hold be placed on your mail.
- CONSIDER A TRAVEL CARD: Travel cards are prepaid, reloadable and accepted anywhere VISA cards are accepted.
- RESEARCH EXCHANGE RULES: Research rules and laws about exchanging money at your destination and only use official exchange facilities.
- REVIEW HEALTH INSURANCE: Review your health insurance coverage while traveling and consider medical travel insurance.
