Travel money news and advice

As we approach the final weeks of 2019, many Aussies will be keeping half an eye on their calendar as they count down the days until it's time to head to the airport for their summer holiday abroad. 

IMT provider WorldFirst, whose swift transfers and bank-beating rates have made it a favourite among travellers and international shoppers, has just come out with a new offer. This November, if you transfer over $10,000 AUD, you’ll receive a $50 Myer Gift Card within 15 business days of your trade. 

One of the more unfavourable parts about going on holiday is having to deal with transaction fees and unfavourable exchange rate markups. 

If you’ve been using an Australia Post Load & Go travel card for a while now, this is news you’ll need to hear: Australia Post has announced it is replacing its Load & Go card with a multi-currency Travel Platinum Mastercard. 

Mozo has found travellers who are planning to head overseas to beat the winter blues could end up forking out $385 in unnecessary bank fees by choosing the wrong travel money option - enough for a return flight to Phuket, Bali or Singapore.

It’s been one of the most talked about rate cuts in Australia and Reserve Bank of Australia watchers have been holding their breath for the past 3 years.

This just in: international money transfer specialist, WorldFirst just dropped a hot new offer. New customers who sign up to a new WorldFirst account and make their first transfer of AUD $5,000 or more in May 2019 will receive a $50 Myer gift card. Not a bad deal if you still need to buy mum a Mother’s Day present!

For many Aussie travellers, the promise of a new getaway can get the blood pumping and the adrenaline going. And with all the excitement surrounding booking accommodation and organising activities, it’s not uncommon to neglect picking the right travel plastic.
