Holidaying overseas is a huge part of the Australian way of life, with thousands of keen travellers jet-setting across the world every day.
Travelling is one of life’s greatest joys. You get to explore every nook and cranny of a totally fresh destination, experience new cultures and of course form fond memories that will last a lifetime. But your dream holiday can quickly turn into a nightmare if your hard-earned holiday funds are stolen or you find yourself the victim of identity theft.
Planning a big overseas holiday? Whether it be a trail-heavy adventure of the Andes or a soothing two-week stay at a resort in Sumatra, you’re going to need a few things ticked off your travel checklist before you leave Australian shores.

However, we found its lack of travel money features disappointing, which made the Load & Go an expensive choice for travellers wishing to make purchases in currencies other than Aussie dollars.
