As you make plans for summer travel, whether across Louisiana or around the world, remember to plan for your money needs.
Few things can ruin a trip like suddenly being stuck without cash far from home.
Carrying a lot of cash can be dangerous, and theft or loss is extremely inconvenient, to say nothing of costly, so look into several easy alternatives. Check the back of your card to see which networks you can use, such as Cirrus or Pulse. Remember, fees can mount up quickly when you use cash machines that aren't owned by your bank. To avoid these charges, you may want to select a bank with offices or ATMs in the cities you visit frequently. At Hibernia, for example, customers aren't charged fees for using Hibernia-branded ATMs.
