To keep your finances secure while travelling abroad, it is important to understand your bank's protocol for overseas withdrawals and international transfers. If you plan ahead and inform your bank of your travel plans, they may be able to provide you with tips to keep your accounts and cards secure. Additionally, research whether or not there are fees associated with using a card abroad as some banks charge hefty fees for certain activities conducted through them in another country. Finally, make sure that the safety features on both of your accounts (passwords, pins etc.) are up-to-date.

It's important to take the necessary precautions to protect your finances while travelling abroad. Make sure your financial institutions know about your travel plans, so they don't freeze or close your accounts in case of unknown activity. Also set an auto-payment schedule to make sure no bills go unpaid whilst you are gone. Always keep track of all transactions in order to maintain a clear overview of account activity and review credit card statements for accuracy.

Additionally, consider setting up a ‘travel card’ specifically for international expenditures. This can provide some peace of mind as most banks provide protection in case you lose or get ripped off while travelling. You can also safeguard money by transferring them into a separate foreign currency account before leaving home country – this reduces losses in the event that exchange rate fluctuations take place unexpectedly  while you are away. Finally, keep physical copies of important documents such as passports and IDs somewhere secure outside of your wallet such as bank deposit boxes or hotel safes.
