CONSULTING / MONEY ACCESSCARDS, CASH, AUTHENTICATION, RECOVERY
05
Keep access to money when something fails abroad.
I was robbed in Ukraine with my cash and cards in one place. A card left in Apple Pay kept the trip alive. That ugly lesson became a system of split access, backups, reserves, and insurance.
Plan the failure before the trip.
- Cash and card storage
- Backup accounts and cards
- Two-factor authentication
- Currency conversion choices
- Emergency reserve and insurance
- Replacement and recovery steps
This review covers access and recovery.
We look at how you pay, transfer, authenticate, and recover while abroad. I can also flag conversion traps that cost me money early in my travels.
