If you are traveling this summer, there is a great tool to keep your finances safe while away from home. Using a Visa Travel Card is a modern solution for consumer travel needs. It is a unique alternative to taking cash, credit cards, debit cards, or traveler’s cheques and can be used anywhere Visa Cards are accepted. Here are just a few benefits to using a travel card.

Global Acceptance:

A reloadable Visa Travel Card works like a debit card and is accepted in millions of locations worldwide, anywhere Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and Debit Cards are accepted. This makes it a convenient option for travelers who might visit multiple countries with varying merchant infrastructures.

Enhanced Security:

Carrying a debit card is significantly safer than carrying large amounts of cash. Additionally, if your card is lost or stolen, you can quickly report it to your issuer and often receive a replacement card, reducing the risk of financial loss. Since the travel card is not connected to your bank accounts it also reduces the risk of identity theft and fraud if lost or stolen.

Budget Control:

Reloadable travel cards allow you to load only the amount you plan to use, making it easier to stick to a travel budget and prevent overspending. It’s a practical way to manage your funds without the risk of high-interest rates or fees that can come with credit cards.

Convenience and Flexibility:

You can easily reload your card at D.L. Evans Bank locations or via the website or phone number on the back of the Visa Travel Card. This flexibility is particularly useful for lengthy trips or unexpected expenses, ensuring you have continuous access to funds without needing to visit a bank branch.

In short, a Visa Travel Card gives you global access, better security, budget control, and super convenience for all your travel money needs. With this modern travel solution, you can head off on your summer adventures while keeping your finances safe and easy to manage.
