Banking Abroad!

Currently, $1 in United States currency, when exchanged, would give you 0.73 euros. 

These discrepancies in currency can lead to problems when traveling and it is important to keep track of your bank account.  This can help you catch potential overdrafts or identity thefts, which are common problems that can arise while abroad.  

With the expansion of mobile technology, many major banking branches now have cell-phone applications that allow you to bank on the go!  These are extremely helpful when you are abroad and do not have the convenience of your local bank.  These applications allow you to complete many important banking activities; such as transferring money, tracking purchases and checking your balance. 

Personally, I have fallen victim to the pitfalls of spending abroad.  I love to shop and traveling opens your mind and wallet to many interesting experiences and purchases.  Having your card declined is embarrassing when you are at the mall at home, but it is far worse when you are in Australia and didn't realize that you had over-drafted your account.   These differences in currency amounts through exchange rates can cause you to miscalculate just how much money you have left to spend! 

By downloading these applications to your mobile device, you can save yourself time and hassle and make the most out of your travel!
