Summer is one of the best times to travel and whether you’re heading to the beach, exploring a new city, or enjoying a family road trip, travel can get expensive fast. We’ve outlined five smart and practical ways to save money while staying in control of your finances during your getaway:
1. Open a Dedicated Savings Account: Before you book your trip, consider opening a separate savings account just for travel. Saving a little each week can really add up, and having a dedicated account helps you avoid dipping into funds meant for other expenses. Our savings accounts offer competitive interest rates, no maintenance fees, and easy access when you’re ready to use your funds.
2. Set a Budget & Stick To It: A travel budget helps prevent overspending and ensures you enjoy your trip without financial stress. Use our mobile app to monitor your spending in real-time and make adjustments if needed. Planning ahead can help give you peace of mind so you can relax and enjoy your vacation.
3. Plan Well In Advance: Booking early, comparing prices and looking for deals can significantly lower your travel costs. From hotel rewards programs to flight discounts, there are many ways to save. Plus, the money you save can go toward even more experiences or back into your savings.
4. Use our Free Checking Account for Travel Spending: Our FREE CHECKING account is perfect for managing your travel expenses. With no monthly fees, mobile and online banking and unlimited debit card use, it’s a convenient way to separate vacation spending from your everyday budget. You can even set up alerts to help you stay on top of your balance!
5. Bank Anytime, Anywhere with Online & Mobile Banking: When you're on the go and away from home, convenience matters. Our online and mobile banking tools allow you to check balances, transfer money, pay bills, and even deposit checks—right from your phone. Whether you’re at the airport or in a national park, you’ll have full control over your money.
