Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or long-awaited vacation, traveling can be exciting… and sometimes a bit wallet-draining.
But with a few savvy moves, and CEFCU’s tools, you can enjoy the adventure without letting your finances get lost in transit.
Set a Game Plan Before You Go
Before heading out of town, especially internationally, contact CEFCU to make us aware of locations and dates. This helps prevent legitimate transactions from being flagged.
Put a Travel Alert on your CEFCU Credit and Debit Mastercard® with Card Management via CEFCU On-Line® or Mobile Banking.
Plan Your Budget
Use CEFCU’s Online Budgeting Tools to review your account balances, track spending, and set travel-specific savings goals. Knowing what you have available helps prevent overspending while on the road.
Carry Multiple Payment Options
Take several forms of payment, including credit card, debit card, cash, or prepaid gift card, and keep them separate.
When You Return
Monitor account history online and with statements/eStatements to ensure no unauthorized activity appears.
Contact CEFCU at 1.800.542.3328 if you find any irregular or suspicious activity on your account.
Safe Travels!
