Safe Travel Tips

Be safe and have a good time when you travel.  Here are a few simple preparations to include in your planning.

• Let us know before you go. Notify your financial institutions if you’ll be using your debit and credit cards while traveling out of area or the country.
• Clean out your wallet. Remove unnecessary items with personal information, such as social security number. 
• Carry multiple forms of payment. We recommend using your credit card for hotels and travel expenses instead of a debit card, since a credit card is not linked to your checking account.
• Protect your wallet and money. Consider using a money belt and carrying your cash and cards in a few different places always under your control.
• Use mobile banking. It’s an easy way to keep tabs on your account and make transfers with your smartphone.
