When your members ask for foreign currency or prepaid cards for international travel, are you sending them to the bank down the street? This session will take a closer look at your members’ needs for international travel funds. You’ll hear case studies, be privy to exclusive industry research, and take away a simple formula to determine your credit union’s market size for these products. 

Travel myths to be debunked include:

• A bad economy means no one is traveling
• Debit and credit cards are a traveler’s best friend
• Travelers cheques and US currency are widely accepted
• Offering a foreign exchange program is costly and requires in-house expertise
