Travel money



Secure, convenient ways to access your money overseas

If you're planning to travel and need access to your money while overseas, Community First can offer you the following solutions:

Money exchange
  • Order foreign currency ahead of time before leaving Australia. We will even re-purchase your un-used currency when you return.
Travel money card
  • The Travelex Cash Passport is a secure, pre-paid, PIN protected travel money card that you re-load funds on to before you travel, locking in the exchange rate. It can be used for point of sale purchases and ATM transactions.
Traveller's cheques
  • Traveller's cheques entitle you to payment of the cheque's face value upon presentation at a bank, retailer or bureau de change. Traveller's cheques are handy if your travel destination doesn't have an extensive ATM network and are available in Euros, Great British Pounds and US Dollars.
International money transfer
  • Telegraphic transfers - An easy way to send large amounts of money overseas quickly. Transfers take approximately 72 hours and transmits the funds electronically to an overseas bank account in a specified currency.

  • Drafts - Like a bank cheque made out in a foreign currency, drafts can be sent overseas via the mail and are an easy and affordable way to make payments or settle transactions overseas.
